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

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography are two ultrasound technologies that are becoming increasingly popular in the evaluation of different abdominal pathologies in children. The use of these technologies has expanded the diagnostic scope of ultrasound into areas that were traditionally covered by advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and fluoroscopy. In this review, we summarize the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography in the evaluation of hepatic, renal, pancreatic, splenic, urinary tract, and scrotal pathologies in children. We describe the technical aspects, applications, and limitations, intending to make readers more acquainted with the technologies.
