Diagnostic performance of two-dimensional shear wave elastography for evaluating tibial nerve stiffness in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the stiffness of the tibial nerve with two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) and to determine whether 2D-SWE can be used to diagnose diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
methodsThe study included 70 consecutive diabetic patients with DPN or without DPN and 20 healthy volunteers. The tibial nerve stiffness measured with 2D-SWE was studied. The differences in stiffness values among patients with DPN, patients with clinically defined DPN, patients without DPN, and healthy volunteers based on clinical features and electrodiagnostic tests were evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Inter- and intraobserver variability was evaluated, and a receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed.
resultsThe tibial nerve stiffness based on mean (E
conclusionsTibial nerve stiffness is significantly higher in diabetic patients with DPN and clinically defined DPN. The E KEY POINTS: • 2D-SWE elastography is a noninvasive method that can be used to evaluate precise nerve stiffness for diagnosing DPN. • Minor degree of neurologic lesion might exist early in patients with clinically defined DPN and can be detected by 2D-SWE. • E
