Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Evaluation of the Liver and Implications for Perioperative Medicine.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 (SWE) is a non-invasive, low risk technology allowing the assessment of tissue stiffness. Used clinically for nearly two decades to diagnose and stage liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, it has recently been appreciated for its ability to differentiate between more subtle forms of liver dysfunction. In this review, we will discuss the principle of ultrasound shear wave elastography, its traditional utilization in grading liver cirrhosis, as well as its evolving role in identifying more subtle degrees of liver injury. Finally, we will show how this capacity to distinguish nuanced changes may provide an opportunity for its use in perioperative risk stratification.
