[The impact of ultrasound in urology].
Article in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Ultrasound is of great importance in the diagnosis of acute and chronic diseases in urology, such as kidney colic, testicular torsion, low-grade kidney trauma or for follow-up of vesicoureteral reflux, evaluation of infertility, measurement of residual urinary volume and the detection of cancer. An ultrasound examination is time and cost-effective without exposure to ionizing radiation and is routinely performed by practitioners as well as in the clinical daily routine. With technical innovations, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound or real time elastography, it would for instance be possible to extend the application field of ultrasound. However, in some fields of investigation ultrasound still lacks accuracy and despite its many advantages the validity of ultrasound findings sometimes has to be verified with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
