Lung Ultrasound Surface Wave Elastography for Assessing Interstitial Lung Disease.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06844331 (ULtrasOund Applicability in the Assessment of Patients With fibRosing Interstitial Lung Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 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.

Abstract
objectiveOur goal is to translate lung ultrasound surface wave elastography (LUSWE) for assessing patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and various connective tissue diseases including systemic sclerosis (SSc).
methodsLUSWE was used to measure the surface wave speed of lung at 100, 150, and 200 Hz through six intercostal lung spaces for 91 patients with ILD and 30 healthy control subjects. In addition, skin viscoelasticity was measured on both forearms and upper arms for patients and controls.
resultsThe surface wave speeds of patients' lungs were significantly higher than those of control subjects. Patient skin elasticity and viscosity were significantly higher than those of control subjects. In dividing ILD patients into two groups, ILD with SSc patients and ILD without SSc patients, significant differences between each patient group with the control group were found for both the lung and skin. No significant differences were found between the two patient groups, although there were some differences at a few locations and at 100 Hz for skin viscoelasticity.
conclusionSignificant differences of surface wave speed were found between ILD patients and healthy control subjects for both the lung and skin. SIGNIFICANCE: LUSWE may be useful for assessing ILD and SSc and screening early stage patients.
