Liver Stiffness Values in Persons with Normal Histology.
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 1 paper.
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 and aims: Most studies to date have focused on liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients with different chronic liver diseases, and normal LSM is defined based on normal liver function tests or the absence of fibrosis. Very few studies have defined LSM based on completely normal liver biopsies. The current study was done to define the distribution of LSM values in individuals with normal liver biopsies. Methods: All prospective liver donors presenting to Medanta, the Medicity hospital between September 2020 and September 2021 fulfilling the eligibility criteria were included in this study. Results: A total of 63 donors (36 females and 27 males) were included in the study, 37 (58.7%) donors had normal liver biopsies, and 26 (41.2%) donors showed the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. LSM values in the normal liver histology group were 5.01 ± 1.99 kPa by the M probe and 5.34 ± 2.25 kPa by the XL probe. Even though the correlation was weak (r = 0.29, Conclusions: LSM value in the biopsy-proven normal liver histology group was 5.01 ± 1.99 by the M probe and 5.34 ± 2.25 by the XL probe.
