Characterization of the normal pulmonary surface and pneumonectomy space by reflected ultrasound.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Interest has been increasing in the use of transthoracic ultrasound for the study of the pleuropulmonary disease. US imaging depends mainly on the physical interactions between ultrasound waves and the tissues being examined. In the thoracic region, the prescence of the chest wall and the air-containing pulmonary tissues cause various artifacts that strongly influence the resulting images. At the interface between tissues and air, the ultrasound beam is totally reflected and produces simple reverberation, comet-tail artifacts, and ring-down artifacts.We report the findings of transthoracic ultrasound in normal healthy subjects and in those who had undergone pneumonectomy.This experience shows that, in terms of the ultrasound artifacts mentioned above, the postpneumonectomy cavity is not significantly different from the healthy lung.
