Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the liver has emerged as the non-invasive standard for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic liver diseases (CLDs). The utility of MRE in the evaluation of different CLD in both adults and children has been demonstrated in several studies, and MRE has been recommended by several clinical societies. Consequently, the clinical indications for evaluation of CLD with MRE have increased, and MRE is currently used as an add-on test during routine liver MRI studies or as a standalone test. To meet the increasing clinical demand, MRE is being installed in many academic and private practice imaging centers. There is a need for a comprehensive practical guide to help these practices to deliver high-quality liver MRE studies as well as troubleshoot the common issues with MRE to ensure smooth running of the service. This comprehensive clinical practice review summarizes the indications and provides an overview on why to use MRE, technical requirements, system set-up, patient preparation, acquiring the data, and interpretation.
