Accuracy of liver stiffness measurement and controlled attenuation parameter using FibroScan
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
backgroundFew studies have evaluated both liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using both FibroScan
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 137 consecutive patients with clinically suspected NAFLD in our joint-research facilities. Liver biopsies, liver stiffness measurements (LSMs), and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measurements were performed, and 122 patients with NAFLD diagnosed pathologically by central pathologists were included in the final analysis.
resultsReliable LSM results were obtained in 85.2% (M) and 89.3% (XL) of patients, and CAP was reliable in 90.2% (M) and 90.2% (XL). The median LSM was significantly lower with the XL than M probe, and CAP was significantly higher with the XL than M probe. The optimal cut-off values for diagnosing the fibrosis stage were lower for LSM with the XL than M probe (stage ≥ 2, 6.7 vs. 7.0; stage ≥ 3, 8.2 vs. 10.8; stage 4, 14.3 vs. 16.8, respectively), whereas those of CAP were higher for the XL than M probe (score of ≥ 2, 273 vs. 267; score of 3, 302 vs. 286, respectively). There were no significant differences in accuracy of the LSM and CAP between the probes.
conclusionsLiver fibrosis and steatosis could be equally evaluated with FibroScan
