Changes in Liver Shear Wave Elastography of Preterm Infants during Hospitalization.
Article in American journal of perinatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Liver evaluation is essential in preterm infants because of exposure to hepatotoxic drugs, the effects of parenteral nutrition, and their organ immaturity. The clinical significance of shear wave elastography (SWE) which measures tissue elasticity, is unclear in preterm infants. For SWE application to liver evaluation in preterm infants, we examined the postnatal course and factors associated with changes.We prospectively measured liver SWE values every other week in 37 preterm infants born at 23 to 35 weeks gestation and 12 term infants born after 36 weeks gestation.The median early postnatal liver SWE value was 1.22 (interquartile range, 1.19-1.26) m/s. The correlations of liver SWE values with gestational age and birth weight were
