High-frequency shear wave MR elastography of parotid glands: custom driver design and preliminary results.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parotid glands are one of the most common sites for salivary gland tumors. Conventional imaging techniques have limited usefulness in the quantitative assessment of the parotid glands, making it difficult to differentiate between healthy tissue and tumors, as well as between benign and malignant tumors. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive technique that may potentially overcome these limitations. Nevertheless, due to the size of the parotid gland, increased elastographic resolution is required. This may be achieved by applying shear waves at higher frequencies. However, it also results in stronger attenuation, making the illumination of the parotid challenging. Here, we describe a novel passive driver tailored to the anatomy of the human face, which minimizes the distance shear waves need to travel from the source to the area of interest and thus decreases shear wave attenuation, making high-frequency shear wave MRE feasible.
