Analysis of multiple shear wave modes in a nonlinear soft solid: Experiments and finite element simulations with a tilted acoustic radiation force.
Article in Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Tissue nonlinearity is conventionally measured in shear wave elastography by studying the change in wave speed caused by the tissue deformation, generally known as the acoustoelastic effect. However, these measurements have mainly focused on the excitation and detection of one specific shear mode, while it is theoretically known that the analysis of multiple wave modes offers more information about tissue material properties that can potentially be used to refine disease diagnosis. This work demonstrated proof of concept using experiments and finite element simulations in a uniaxially stretched phantom by tilting the acoustic radiation force excitation axis with respect to the material's symmetry axis. Using this unique set-up, we were able to visualize two propagating shear wave modes across the stretch direction for stretches larger than 140%. Complementary simulations were performed using material parameters determined from mechanical testing, which enabled us to convert the observed shear wave behavior into a correct representative constitutive law for the phantom material, i.e. the Isihara model. This demonstrates the potential of measuring shear wave propagation in combination with shear wave modeling in complex materials as a non-invasive alternative for mechanical testing.
