Anisotropy in ultrasound shear wave elastography: An add-on to muscles characterization.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Ultrasound shear wave elastography was developed the past decade, bringing new stiffness biomarker in clinical practice. This biomarker reveals to be of primarily importance for the diagnosis of breast cancer or liver fibrosis. In muscle this biomarker become much more complex due to the nature of the muscle itself: an anisotropic medium. In this manuscript we depict the underlying theory of propagating waves in such anisotropic medium. Then we present the available methods that can consider and quantify this parameter. Advantages and drawbacks are discussed to open the way to imagine new methods that can free this biomarker in a daily clinical practice.
