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

objectivesThe aim of this study was performed to investigate the salivary gland SPECT/CT of parotid glands in patients with lymphoepithelial sialadenitis including preliminary study on clinical and pathological features.

methodsThe study was performed in 5 patients with lymphoepithelial sialadenitis who underwent salivary gland SPECT/CT. Correlation between maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) at ratio of pre- to post-stimulation and clinicopathological parameters in lymphoepithelial sialadenitis were performed by Pearson correlation coefficient.

resultsThe maximum SUV of 10 parotid glands in 5 patients with lymphoepithelial sialadenitis using salivary gland SPECT/CT was 23.8 ± 16.9 at pre-stimulation, 10.5 ± 5.1 at post-stimulation, and 2.06 ± 0.66 at ratio of pre- to post-stimulation. Furthermore, the maximum SUV at ratio of pre- to post-stimulation was significantly correlated with Saxon test score (r = 0.637, p = 0.048).

conclusionThe salivary gland SPECT/CT can be useful in clinical practice for the quantitative management of parotids in patients with lymphoepithelial sialadenitis.
