Feasibility of Viscosity Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography for Diagnosing Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
Article in Korean journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic potential of viscosity (Vi) imaging and shear wave elastography (SWE) of the tibial nerve in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective study enrolled 40 patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accompanied by DPN, 40 T2DM patients without DPN, and 40 healthy controls between January 2025 and April 2025. The bilateral tibial nerves were examined using SWE and Vi imaging to measure shear wave speed (Cs, m/s) and Vi (Pa·s). The reference standards for the DPN diagnosis comprised clinical examination, electromyography, and quantitative sensory testing. Diagnostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and by calculating sensitivity and specificity at the optimal cutoff values for Cs and Vi. The areas under the curve (AUCs) were compared using DeLong's test.
resultsOn the right side, the DPN group exhibited significantly higher Cs
conclusionVi imaging quantifies nerve Vi in DPN and offers a novel, non-invasive diagnostic approach to distinguish patients with DPN from those without the condition. However, viscoelastic imaging does not provide greater diagnostic value than SWE.
