Diagnosis of bowel diseases: the role of imaging and ultrasonography.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Examinations with a visualisation of the anatomy and pathology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are often necessary for the diagnosis of GI diseases. Traditional radiology played a crucial role for many years. Endoscopy, despite some limitations, remains the main technique in the differential diagnosis and treatment of GI diseases. In the last decades, the introduction of, and advances in, non-invasive cross-sectional imaging modalities, including ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), positron-emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as improvements in the resolution of imaging data, the acquisition of 3D images, and the introduction of contrast-enhancement, have modified the approach to the examination of the GI tract. Moreover, additional co-registration techniques, such as PET-CT and PET-MRI, allow multimodal data acquisition with better sensitivity and specificity in the study of tissue pathology. US has had a growing role in the development and application of the techniques for diagnosis and management of GI diseases because it is inexpensive, non-invasive, and more comfortable for the patient, and it has sufficient diagnostic accuracy to provide the clinician with image data of high temporal and spatial resolution. Moreover, Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) add important information about blood flow. This article provides a general review of the current literature regarding imaging modalities used for the evaluation of bowel diseases, highlighting the role of US and recent developments in CEUS.
