Ultrasonographic Measurements of the Liver, Gallbladder, and Hepatic Vessels among University-aged Youth in Baghdad, Iraq.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. 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
Background: Ultrasound measurements of the liver, gallbladder, and hepatic vessels are important for clinicians as these measurements can be affected anatomically, physiologically, and pathologically. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrasound measurements and anthropometric measures. Methods: A prospective observational design was carried in this study. A total of 135 university-aged youth with ages ranging between 18 and 24 years were examined sonographically. Ultrasound measurements include liver length and thickness, gallbladder length, width, thickness, volume and wall thickness, portal and hepatic veins' diameter, and subcutaneous tissue thickness. Results: A significant and positive correlation was observed between liver length with height ( Conclusion: Ultrasound measurements confirmed a physiological correlation between liver size with gallbladder volume, portal vein diameter, and subcutaneous tissue thickness. Anthropometric measurements, particularly BMI, are considered determinants for increasing the liver size, gallbladder volume, and portal vein.
