Simplification of 2D shear wave elastography by enlarged SWE box and multiple regions of interest in one acquisition.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Two-dimensional (2D) Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is an easy to perform technique to evaluate the liver stiffness. To simplify the procedure and reduce the acquisition time we enlarged the size of the SWE-box and set ten regions of interest (ROI) in one acquisition. We compare the accuracy of this method to ten separate acquisitions in a small box each with a single ROI measurement. Sixty-nine volunteers with diffuse chronic liver disease were studied with 2D-SWE using a Canon Aplio i800 ultrasound system. The shear-wave-speed was measured in the right lobe in ten separate acquisitions and compared to one acquisition with increased size of the SWE-box and ten different ROI measurements. A Bland-Altmann plot was drawn and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to compare both methods. Finally, 2D-SWE was successfully performed thru both methods in sixty-six participants. Between both methods the ICC is 0.82. The results of this study show a good reliability between ten separate measures and one grouped measure with ten ROI if the mean is below 1.6m/s (7.7kPa). For higher degrees of fibrosis (≥F2) further investigations are needed.
