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

The development of hepatic fibrosis is the hallmark of liver disease progression. Identifying fibrosis across the spectrum, from early stages to cirrhosis has become a major unmet need. Newer imaging techniques that measure liver elastography (stiffness) as a surrogate of fibrosis seem to outperform serum tests. The current study compares two-dimensional (2D) gradient-recalled echo magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to three-dimensional (3D) spin-echo echo-planar imaging MRE. 3D-SE-EPI MRE was able to image more liver volume in less time with fewer technical failures. The current study demonstrates that 3D-SE-EPI MRE appears marginally superior to 2D-GRE and may evolve into the new gold standard.
