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
backgroundRecently, shear wave elastography (SWE) has been recognized as an effective tool for evaluating Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the parotid glands with SWE, especially for quantitative analysis of shear elastic modulus in relation to age, gender, and internal architecture in patients with oral cancer to collect control data for SS.
methodsIn total, 124 parotid glands of 62 patients with oral cancer were evaluated with SWE. The parotid glands were examined for the internal architecture (homogeneous or heterogeneous) on B-mode. The SWE allowed the operator to place regions of interest (ROIs) for parotid glands, and displayed automatically shear elastic modulus data (kPa) for each ROI. Gender and internal architecture were compared with the shear elastic modulus of the parotid glands by Mann-Whitney U-test. The comparison of age and shear elastic modulus was assessed using Spearman's correlation coefficient.
resultsThe shear elastic modulus of the parotid glands was not significantly different for according to gender (males, 7.70 ± 2.22 kPa and females, 7.67 ± 2.41 kPa,
conclusionOur study showed the control data of the shear elastic modulus of the parotid glands for SS. SWE is useful for the quantitative evaluation of the parotid glands.
