Diagnostic Accuracy of FibroScan and Factors Affecting Measurements.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 75 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Evaluating liver steatosis and fibrosis is important for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Although liver biopsy and pathological assessment is the gold standard for these conditions, this technique has several disadvantages. The evaluation of steatosis and fibrosis using ultrasound B-mode imaging is qualitative and subjective. The liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) determined using FibroScan are the evidence-based non-invasive measures of liver fibrosis and steatosis, respectively. The LSM and CAP measurements are carried out simultaneously, and the median values of more than ten valid measurements are used to quantify liver fibrosis and steatosis. Here, we demonstrate that the reliability of the LSM depends on the interquartile range to median ratio (IQR/Med), but CAP values do not depend on IQR/Med. In addition, the LSM is affected by inflammation, congestion, and cholestasis in addition to fibrosis, while CAP values are affected by the body mass index in addition to steatosis. We also show that the M probe provides higher LSM values but lower CAP values than the XL probe in the same population. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the diagnostic accuracies of the two probes. These findings are important to understand the reliability of FibroScan measurements and the factors influencing measurement values for all patients.
