Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Recent investigations of viscoelastic properties of materials have been performed by observing shear wave propagation following localized, impulsive excitations, and Fourier decomposing the shear wave signal to parameterize the frequency-dependent phase velocity using a material model. This paper describes a new method to characterize viscoelastic materials using group shear wave speeds , , and determined from the shear wave displacement, velocity, and acceleration signals, respectively. Materials are modeled using a two-parameter linear attenuation model with phase velocity and dispersion slope at a reference frequency of 200 Hz. Analytically calculated lookup tables are used to determine the two material parameters from pairs of measured group shear wave speeds. Green's function calculations are used to validate the analytic model. Results are reported for measurements in viscoelastic and approximately elastic phantoms and demonstrate good agreement with phase velocities measured using Fourier analysis of the measured shear wave signals. The calculated lookup tables are relatively insensitive to the excitation configuration. While many commercial shear wave elasticity imaging systems report group shear wave speeds as the measures of material stiffness, this paper demonstrates that differences , , and of group speeds are first-order measures of the viscous properties of materials.
