Contribution of UltraFast™ Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography in the Imaging of Carotid Artery Disease.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Carotid artery disease is one of the main global causes of disability and premature mortality in the spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. One of its main consequences, stroke, is the second biggest global contributor to disability and burden via Disability Adjusted Life Years after ischemic heart disease. In the last decades, B-mode and Doppler-based ultrasound imaging techniques have become an indispensable part of modern medical imaging of carotid artery disease. However, they have limited abilities in carotid artery plaque and wall characterization and are unable to provide simultaneous quantitative and qualitative flow information while the images are burdened by low framerates. UltraFast™ ultrasound is able to overcome these obstacles by providing simultaneous quantitative and qualitative flow analysis information in high frame rates via UltraFast™ Doppler. Another newly developed ultrasound technique, shear wave elastography, is based on the visualization of induced shear waves and the measurement of the shear wave propagation speed in the examined tissues which enables real-time carotid plaque and wall analysis. These newly developed ultrasound modalities have potential to significantly improve workflow efficiency and are able to provide a plethora of additional imaging information of carotid artery disease in comparison to conventional ultrasound techniques.
