Figure 3 Forest plot comparing the liver stiffness value (Kpa) between the patients with and without biliary atresia.
Dillman, Wang (2020), Leschied, and Liu each have multiple analyses due to different shear wave elastography modes and/or phases of study (training, validation). Point SW: Point shear wave elastography; 2D SW: Two-dimensional shear wave elastography; VTIQ: Virtual touch IQ, alternative nomenclature for two-dimensional shear wave elastography; VTQ: Virtual touch quantification, alternative nomenclature for point shear wave elastography.
