Ultrasound Elastography and MR Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis: Part 2, Diagnostic Performance, Confounders, and Future Directions.
Article in AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03293953 (Prospective Comparison Between Transient Elastography), which is not on this map. Cited by 85 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
Prospective Comparison Between Transient Elastography (TE), Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) and Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) for Non-invasive Assessment of Liver Fibrosis in Patients Affected by Chronic Viral Hepatitis

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of the article is to review the diagnostic performance of ultra-sound and MR elastography techniques for detection and staging of liver fibrosis, the main current clinical applications of elastography in the abdomen.
conclusionTechnical and instrument-related factors and biologic and patient-related factors may constitute potential confounders of stiffness measurements for assessment of liver fibrosis. Future developments may expand the scope of elastography for monitoring liver fibrosis and predict complications of chronic liver disease.
