Present status of ultrasound elastography for the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors: review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Ultrasound elastography is a relatively new diagnostic technique for measuring tissue elasticity (hardness). This review describes the types and evaluation methods of elastographies used in diagnosing pancreatic tumors. It also evaluates the diagnostic ability of transabdominal (US) or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) elastography for pancreatic tumors, based on findings from a search of published articles. Twenty articles (2096 cases) were selected from the databases. The types of elastography used for the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors were strain elastography and shear wave elastography. The evaluation methods of elastography and their diagnostic abilities (sensitivity and specificity) were 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.65-0.87) and 0.82 (0.63-0.94) for color pattern diagnosis (US), 0.82 (0.77-0.86) and 0.70 (0.64-0.76) for color pattern diagnosis (EUS), 0.94 (0.90-0.97) and 0.87 (0.81-0.92) for strain ratio (EUS), 0.92 (0.90-0.94) and 0.79 (0.75-0.82) for histogram analysis (EUS), and 0.90 (0.82-0.95) and 0.82 (0.57-0.72) for shear wave elastography. In conclusion, there are many types of elastographies and evaluation methods, and the diagnostic ability for pancreatic tumors is high for each evaluation method.
