Observational Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01757730). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Arunark Kolipaka. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 1000 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Heart Failure, Liver Fibrosis, Cardiac Transplant Rejection, Aortic Aneurysms. Primary outcome measures: Stiffness of soft tissues , Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, ecah clinical visit after discharge for an expected average up to 1 year. Brief summary: Magnetic resonance elastography is a novel non-invasive MRI technique to obtain stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, etc. In this imaging technique a person is laid in an MR scanner and a paddle (plastic drum) is put on the area of interest to send sound vibration via a speaker placed outside the scan room which is connecting plastic drum via a plastic tube. These vibrations are scanned using MRI to estimate the stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, breast etc.
