1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Elastography has emerged as a valuable imaging technique that evaluates tissue stiffness and offers complementary insights into conventional ultrasonography. The aim of this article is to review the utility of elastography in assessing salivary gland pathologies. The review categorizes findings by pathology and the physical principles underlying each elastographic modality. Key modalities discussed include strain elastography, shear wave elastography, and novel hybrid techniques, such as viscoelastography, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and clinical applications in salivary gland imaging.
