3D vector MR elastography applications in small organs.
Review in Magnetic resonance imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMagnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a rapidly developing medical imaging technique that allows for quantitative assessment of the biomechanical properties of the tissue. MRE is now regarded as the most accurate noninvasive test for detecting and staging liver fibrosis. A two-dimensional (2D MRE) acquisition version is currently deployed at >2000 locations worldwide. 2D MRE allows for the evaluation of the magnitude of the complex shear modulus, also referred to as stiffness. The development of 3D vector MRE has enabled researchers to assess the biomechanical properties of small organs where wave propagation cannot be adequately analyzed with the 2D MRE imaging approach used in the liver. In 3D vector MRE, the shear waves are imaged and processed throughout a 3D volume and processed with an algorithm that accounts for wave propagation in any direction. Additionally, the motion is also imaged in x, y, and z directions at each voxel, allowing for more advanced processing to be applied. PURPOSE: This review describes the technical principles of 3D vector MRE, surveys its clinical applications in small organs, and discusses potential clinical significance of 3D vector MRE.
conclusion3D vector MRE is a promising tool for characterizing the biomechanical properties of small organs such as the uterus, pancreas, thyroid, prostate, and salivary glands. However, its potential has not yet been fully explored.
