Quantitative Ultrasound Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background/Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is widespread chronic disease of the live in humans with the prevalence of 30% of the United States population. Methods: This prospective study enrolled a total of 31 patients with clinical suspicion of NAFLD to receive liver fat measurements by quantitative ultrasound and reference MRI measurements (proton density fat-fraction, PDFF). The following ultrasound (US) parameters based on both raw ultrasound RF (Radio Frequency) data and 2D B-mode images of the liver were analyzed with subsequent correlation with MRI-PDFF: hepatorenal index, acoustic attenuation coefficient, Nakagami coefficient parameter, shear wave viscosity, shear wave dispersion and shear wave elasticity. Ultrasound parameters were also correlated with the presence of hypertension and diabetes. Results: The mean (± SD) age and body mass index of the patients were 49.03 (± 12.49) and 30.12 (± 6.15), respectively. Of the aforementioned ultrasound parameters, the hepatorenal index and acoustic attenuation coefficient showed a strong correlation with MRI-PDFF derivations of hepatic steatosis, with Conclusions: Hepatorenal index and acoustic attenuation coefficient correlate well with MRI-PDFF-derived measurements of hepatic steatosis. Quantitative ultrasound is a promising tool for the diagnosis and assessment of patients with NAFLD.
