1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To determine the effects of acquisition parameters on measured shear wave velocity (SWV) in reference phantoms. Methods: SWV were measured on three phantoms of certified SWV 0.794 m/s (Phantom 1), 1.711 m/s (Phantom 2) and 2.500 m/s (Phantom 3). Parameters examined were depth, location, region of interest (ROI) size, transducer type, pitch, frame rate and one-shot mode. Measurements were repeated 10 times for different levels of each parameter at 1.8 MHz and 2.5 MHz transducer frequency on both Canon Aplio i700 and i800 systems. Statistical analyses were performed using linear mixed models with Holm test for multiple comparisons. Results: There was an interaction between acquisition depth and phantom stiffness ( Conclusion: Acquisition parameters can have statistically significant effects on measured SWV and may bias measured SWV due to cumulative effects.
