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
A magnetic resonance (MR) shear wave elastography technique that uses transient acoustic radiation force impulses from a focused ultrasound (FUS) transducer and a sinusoidal-shaped MR displacement encoding strategy is presented. Using this encoding strategy, an analytic expression for calculating the shear wave speed in a heterogeneous medium was derived. Green's function-based simulations were used to evaluate the feasibility of calculating shear wave speed maps using the analytic expression. Accuracy of simulation technique was confirmed experimentally in a homogeneous gelatin phantom. The elastography measurement was compared to harmonic MR elastography in a homogeneous phantom experiment and the measured shear wave speed values differed by less than 14%. This new transient elastography approach was able to map the position and shape of inclusions sized from 8.5 to 14 mm in an inclusion phantom experiment. These preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of using a straightforward analytic expression to generate shear wave speed maps from MR images where sinusoidal-shaped motion encoding gradients are used to encode the displacement-time history of a transiently propagating wave-packet. This new measurement technique may be particularly well suited for performing elastography before, during, and after MR-guided FUS therapies since the same device used for therapy is also used as an excitation source for elastography.
