Effect of acquisition depth and precompression from probe and couplant on shear wave elastography in soft tissue: an
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundShear wave elastography is a promising method to diagnose early musculoskeletal lesions. We aimed to explore the feasible depth and acceptable precompression applied by probe and couplant for soft tissues in the present system.
methods
resultsThe SWS of
conclusionsThe SWS acquired at a depth of ≤3 cm with a suitable amount of couplant is recommended.
