Two-dimensional shear wave elastography-based assessment of liver stiffness in critically ill patients with septic shock: a prospective observational study.
Article in Internal and emergency 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
The acute effects of resuscitation on the liver during septic shock, as assessed through liver stiffness, are not well understood. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate liver stiffness in patients with septic shock using two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE). This prospective study was conducted at a 30-bed ICU of a university hospital. Patients with septic shock, who had apparently normal liver status before current illness, requiring vasopressors for ≥ 24 h were considered within 7 days after the onset of shock. Patients with pre-existing liver diseases, congestive heart failure, intra-abdominal hypertension, recent history of abdominal trauma/surgery, body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m
