Do deep inspiration breath-holds and free-breathing affect pancreatic tissue stiffness in shear wave elastography?
Article 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 11 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
purposeThe use of ultrasound (US) elastography to assess the pancreas is subject to serious limitations, and it is not easy to perform US elastography for the pancreas with satisfactory and reproducible accuracy. The aim of our study was to show the normal pancreatic stiffness values with shear wave elastography (SWE) and to evaluate the pancreatic tissue stiffness at two different respiratory phases.
methodsSixty-three subjects were included in the study. Median values of pancreatic stiffness were recorded. Values during deep inspiration and free breathing were compared.
resultsThe stiffness values of the pancreatic tissue measured during deep inspiration breath holds and during free breathing were 5.70 ± 1.74 kPa and 4.15 ± 1.70 kPa, respectively. It was found that the values of pancreatic tissue stiffness measured during deep inspiration were statistically significantly higher than those measured during physiological breathing (p < 0.001).
conclusionsBecause of the reference value differences between different ultrasound elastography devices, it is important to know the reference ranges of normal pancreatic stiffness according to the device, in order to distinguish possible pathologies. In addition, the variability of pancreatic stiffness measurements with respiratory phases should be considered in clinical applications.
