The features of intestinal tuberculosis by contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo examine the imaging characteristics of intestinal tuberculosis by conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). MATERIALS AND
methodsCharacteristics of the conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasound images of 31 patients with intestinal tuberculosis confirmed by surgery were retrospectively examined. CEUS was used to evaluate the pattern of the bowel wall enhancement.
resultsOf the 31 patients with intestinal tuberculosis (IT), 27 had infections located at the ileocecum and 4 at the hepatic flexure of the colon. Conventional ultrasound showed that the mean thickening of bowel wall was 1.38 cm, ranging from 0.56 to 2.20 cm. Two types of bowel wall enhancement patterns on CEUS were observed. For 13 % of the patients (4/31), the serosa was quickly enhanced first, then the mucosa was enhanced gradually (type 1 enhancement). In the remaining 27 patients, the whole bowel wall was quickly diffusely enhanced (type 2 enhancement). In addition, the enhancement of the thickened bowel wall was homogeneous in 9 patients, while the others showed inhomogeneous enhancement.
conclusionCEUS found detailed patterns of bowel wall enhancement of intestinal tuberculosis and had the potential to provide useful information for the diagnosis of suspected patients.
