Non-invasive ultrasound assessment of chronic liver disease: current position and future directions for a "one-stop" liver ultrasound approach.
Article in Insights into imaging, 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 integration of the multitude of ultrasound techniques into a "one-stop" liver clinic model will revolutionize the management of liver diseases. This approach streamlines patient care by providing immediate imaging assessment, facilitating prompt diagnosis, and expediting treatment plans. The traditional ultrasound methods of B-mode imaging and Doppler techniques have been supplemented by the newer techniques of tissue elastography, fat quantification, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound-termed multiparametric ultrasound. The deployment of these techniques to establish in more detail the underlying status of liver disease has been profound. The encompassing ultrasound techniques have allowed the ultrasound practitioner to establish a comprehensive assessment of liver disease, allowing further accurate management, and negating the need for additional, often more expensive, imaging to establish the diagnosis. This paper explores the implementation, benefits, and challenges of ultrasound-based one-stop liver clinics, emphasizing their impact on patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. A detailed assessment of the techniques and their position in the diagnostic armamentarium is reviewed with a comprehensive overview established. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Multiparametric liver ultrasound integrating B-mode, Doppler, CEUS, elastography and fat quantification provides a practical, low-cost one-stop pathway for staging chronic liver disease, assessing portal hypertension surrogates and characterizing incidental lesions, thereby speeding up treatment. KEY POINTS: Ultrasound is the first-line imaging investigation for liver disease, with established criteria on B-mode imaging for steatosis and cirrhosis. Multiparametric ultrasound integrates morphology, hemodynamics, fibrosis, steatosis, and lesion assessment. A one-stop liver ultrasound clinic accelerates decisions and reduces additional imaging.
