Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05121233 (Local Anesthesia Versus Combined Local Anesthesia With Single Dose Analgesia on Pain Control During Thoracic Ultrasound Guided Procedures), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Thoracic ultrasonography can be used for diagnostic purposes as well as a guide for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.When the lesion or fluid collection has been located and the patient properly positioned, the angle of the needle is identified with respect to the transducer. The insertion tract should transgress the smallest possible area of aerated parenchyma. The needle can be introduced with a free-hand technique or with the aid of a needle guide. Correct planning of the procedure reduces intervention time and decreases the risk of complications.The main indications are superficial masses that require biopsy, pleural and parenchymal lesions formerly biopsied with CT or fluoroscopic guidance, and fluid collections that need to be drained.Ultrasound, thanks to its widespread use, simple execution, and low costs, represents a safe, manageable guide for thoracic interventions.
