Transvaginal Real-Time Shear Wave Elastography in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Lesions.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundTo explore the value of transvaginal real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) in the diagnosis of endometrial lesions.
methodsA total of 140 female patients with endometrial lesions, confirmed by pathological results, were divided into three groups: 45 cases of endometrial polyps, 29 cases of endometrial hyperplasia and 66 cases of endometrial cancer. A total of 100 cases of normal endometrium were used as the control group, including 52 cases in the proliferative stage and 48 cases in the secretory stage. Transvaginal real-time shear wave elastography was performed in all four groups.
resultsEmean, Emax and Esd were expressed as the average standard deviation. Among the control group, the results were 26.24±9.74, 38.09±9.18, and 4.25±2.73 kPa, respectively, in the proliferative endometrium cases and 12.51±7.46, 27.22±11.32, 4.40±2.52 kPa, respectively, in the secretory endometrium cases. Among the experimental group, the result was 15.68±8.18, 27.28±10.28 and 3.62±1.81 kPa respectively in the endometrial polyps cases; 21.20 ± 12.57, 36.32 ± 15.04, and 5.09 ±3.93 kPa in the endometrial hyperplasia cases; 49.36±25.51, 86.66±42.27 and 14.86±10.63 kPa in the endometrial cancer cases. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). When the truncation values of Emean, Emax and Esd were 28.50, 52.45 and 9.05 kPa, respectively, to distinguish between normal endometrium and endometrial cancer, Emax has the highest diagnostic value.
conclusionReal-time SWE technology might be used as an auxiliary method in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of endometrial cancer. More quantitative indicators are conducive to diagnosis.
