Repeatability of Rotational 3-D Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging Measurements in Skeletal Muscle.
Article in Ultrasound in medicine & biology, 2023. 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
Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) usually assumes an isotropic material; however, skeletal muscle is typically modeled as a transversely isotropic material with independent shear wave speeds in the directions along and across the muscle fibers. To capture these direction-dependent properties, we implemented a rotational 3-D SWEI system that measures the shear wave speed both along and across the fibers in a single 3-D acquisition, with automatic detection of the muscle fiber orientation. We tested and examined the repeatability of this system's measurements in the vastus lateralis of 10 healthy volunteers. The average coefficient of variation of the measurements from this 3-D SWEI system was 5.3% along the fibers and 8.1% across the fibers. When compared with estimated respective 2-D SWEI values of 16.0% and 83.4%, these results suggest using 3-D SWEI has the potential to improve the precision of SWEI measurements in muscle. Additionally, we observed no significant difference in shear wave speed between the dominant and non-dominant legs along (p = 0.26) or across (p = 0.65) the muscle fibers.
