Hepatic and portal vein Doppler ultrasounds in assessing liver inflammation and fibrosis in chronic HBV infection with a normal ALT level.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aims: To discuss the clinical value of hepatic and portal vein Doppler ultrasounds in assessing liver inflammation and fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and a normal alanine transaminase (ALT) level. Methods: 94 patients with chronic HBV infections who had undergone ultrasound-guided liver biopsies were enrolled and grouped by the liver tissue pathological results. Analyzed the differences and correlation between parameters of the hepatic and portal vein Doppler ultrasounds are discussed across different degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis. Results: There were 27 patients with no significant liver damage and 67 patients with significant liver damage, there were significant differences in the parameters of the hepatic and portal vein Doppler ultrasounds between them ( Conclusion: The hepatic and portal vein Doppler ultrasounds have important clinical value for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HBV infection, to aid improve the diagnosis of liver fibrosis.
