1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Color and power Doppler imaging has been employed for decades to analyze the presence, amount, and distribution of flow signals (i.e., blood vessels) in organs and abnormalities, representing a valuable adjunct to gray-scale morphostructural ultrasound. Conventional Doppler modalities, however, have the significant limitation of being insensitive to detect flow within vessels that are too thin and/or that contain blood flowing too slow. In this review article, we focus on the systems that the different companies have developed in the last decade to improve the ultrasound effectiveness in sensitively detecting microvascular flows.
