Ultrasound shear wave elastography and liver biopsy to determine liver fibrosis in adult patients.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionLiver biopsy is considered as the gold standard for diagnosis of chronic liver disease, yet liver biopsy is an invasive method that may be associated with complications. Therefore, non-invasive methods are needed to diagnose fibrosis. This study was conducted to compare liver stiffness measured by Shear-wave Elastography (SWE) to fibrosis in liver biopsy. METHOD AND MATERIALS: In this prospective study, 176 adult patients with chronic liver disease of different etiologies were included. All patients were evaluated using SWE and a liver biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy of SWE was evaluated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) plots based on the degree of fibrosis (METAVIR score). SPSS software version 19 was used for statistical analysis and
resultsThere was a significant correlation between liver stiffness and fibrosis stage (ρ=0.939;
conclusionThe results of this study showed that liver SWE is an effective non-invasive method for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease of different etiologies.
