2D Shear Wave Elastography of Liver in Patients with Primary Extrahepatic Portal Vein Obstruction.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
aimsTo evaluate liver stiffness (LS) in patients of primary extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) using 2D shear wave elastography (SWE) and compare it with healthy volunteers.
methodsFifty patients (mean age: 22.4 years) of EHPVO and 25 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Liver function tests and viral markers were done in both groups and endoscopy in EHPVO group, followed by ultrasonography and SWE of liver. Liver elastography was done with patients/volunteers in supine position through right intercostal space. The LS for right lobe of liver was recorded in kilopascals. Three such measurements were taken and the mean of both groups were compared. The variables were also correlated with mean LS using Pearson's correlation coefficient in EHPVO group.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the mean LS in patients of EHPVO (5.96 kPa) and healthy volunteers (5.47 kPa) (
conclusionSWE of liver may be used as a simple additional tool in the diagnosis of patients of EHPVO who show LS values similar to normal liver.
