Shear-wave elastography to predict hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatitis C virus eradication: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Figure 2 Standardized mean difference of liver stiffness. A: Standardized mean difference (SMD) of liver stiffness (LS) at baseline in patients who did or did not develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during follow-up; B: SMD of LS at 12 wk after sustained virological response (SVR) in patients who did or did not develop HCC during follow-up; C: SMD of LS at 24 wk after SVR in patients who did or did not develop HCC during follow-up. 95%CI: 95% Confidence interval.
