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

Ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging modality ideal for evaluating several acute musculoskeletal conditions in the emergency department (ED). This narrative review provides general radiologists with a concise guide to high-yield MSK US applications in the ED, including tendon ruptures, muscle injuries, bursitis, soft tissue infections, hematomas, and occult fractures. It highlights clinical presentations, sonographic findings, and technical tips to enhance diagnostic confidence and support timely management.
