Ground truth and demographic data for ultrasound assessment of thoracolumbar fascia deformation and shearing.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Restricted mobility and/or deformability of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) could be a diagnostic criterion or a risk factor for the development of low back pain. Therefore, ultrasound measurement techniques to quantify TLF characteristics have been used for over two decades without comprehensive validation. The aim of this paper is to present data to validate ultrasound methods for the assessment of shear, sliding motion and deformation based on distance measurement of anatomical landmarks or speckle tracking. In addition, epidemiological data with deformation values of the TLF are offered. A sliding device with polyurethane tissue phantoms was developed to generate ground truth values for different distances and velocities. The resulting dataset includes 36 ultrasound videos for typical TLF sliding distances of 3-20 mm, 10 videos for various velocities between 2.4 and 5.4 mm/s, demographic data on TLF deformation from 199 individuals, and a MATLAB example script for use with image processing software. For the first time, the dataset provides researchers with ground truth values to validate their ultrasound methods.
