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

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of ultrasound (US) images represents a novel advancement that has been extensively explored over the past three decades. This technique enables endoscopists to perform more detailed and enhanced visualizations of anatomical structures, which is not feasible using traditional ultrasound methods. The reconstructed images also facilitate navigation during endoscopy-guided procedures, such as fine-needle aspiration. Furthermore, augmented reality (AR) algorithms can overlay the reconstructed images with real-time anatomical images, thereby enhancing clinician performance during these procedures. Current evidence suggests that 3D ultrasound reconstruction has already been widely implemented in various clinical imaging studies. However, its application for generating procedural guidance and augmented reality overlays remains in the early research stages and has not yet achieved widespread adoption. Existing pre-clinical evidence suggests that 3D reconstruction has significant potential to enhance clinician performance in various ultrasound-guided procedures.
