Ultrasound of the bowel in children: how we do it.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Advances in US like high-resolution transducers, harmonic imaging and panoramic modality have overcome some of the obstacles for sonography of the small and large bowel that existed in the past. In a number of centers, bowel US is an established routine method both in adults in children. Bowel US has the distinct advantages of being widely available, relatively cheap, free of radiation and easy to perform. In addition, US of the bowel demonstrates both mural and extramural pathological changes. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have frequent imaging studies due to disease recurrences and need of follow-up after treatment. Thus this group of pediatric patients benefits most from an optimized and standardized bowel US. This review provides a comprehensive step-by-step approach how to perform US of the bowel in children with emphasis on imaging inflammatory bowel changes. It is meant to serve like a recipe and facilitate the routine performance of US of the bowel in children.
