Evaluation of stiffness values of normal uterine myometrium by 3T magnetic resonance elastography.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: There is not enough radiologic data in the literature for the quantitative value of uterine stiffness and this study aims to contribute to the literature in this field. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of measuring uterine myometrial stiffness (UMS) using 3T magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in women with radiologically normal uteri and to explore potential associations with demographic and anatomical variables. Methods: Data on demographics, including age, BMI, obstetric history (gravida and parity), menopausal status, and oral contraceptive use, were gathered. Uterine measurements, such as the long axis, transverse diameter, anteroposterior diameter, and volume, were obtained using 3T MR imaging. UMS (in Pascals) was quantified using MRE, and its associations with various factors were assessed. Values are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Results: The study enrolled 48 women with a mean age of 37.54 ± 10.47 years. The average UMS was 2714 ± 300 Pa. A strong positive correlation was found between age and UMS ( Conclusion: This feasibility study demonstrates the practicality of assessing uterine myometrial stiffness using 3T MRE and provides exploratory estimates in radiologically normal uteri. Larger prospective studies are required before normative ranges can be established.
