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

Cervical lymphadenopathy poses a diagnostic challenge, particularly in distinguishing benign from malignant lymph nodes non-invasively. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the diagnostic utility of B-mode ultrasonography, color Doppler, strain elastography and shear wave elastography in 100 patients at a tertiary center in East India. Histopathology served as the reference standard to determine sensitivity, specificity and AUC for each modality. Shear wave elastography, especially perinodal rim stiffness, showed the highest individual accuracy, while the combined B-mode-Doppler-SWE approach demonstrated 94% overall accuracy. Thus, we show that integrating shear wave elastography with conventional ultrasonography significantly enhances differentiation of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes.
