An ex vivo technique for quantifying mouse lung injury using ultrasound surface wave elastography.
Article in Journal of biomechanics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressively fatal disease with limited treatments. The bleomycin mouse model is often used to simulate the disease process in laboratory studies. The aim of this study was to develop an ex vivo technique for assessing mice lung injury using lung ultrasound surface wave elastography (LUSWE) in the bleomycin mouse model. The surface wave speeds were measured at three frequencies of 100, 200, and 300 Hz for mice lungs from control, mild, and severe groups. The results showed significant differences in the lung surface wave speeds, pulse oximetry, and compliance between control mice and mice with severe pulmonary fibrosis. LUSWE is an evolving technique for evaluating lung stiffness and may be useful for assessing pulmonary fibrosis in the bleomycin mouse model.
