1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 (US)-guided therapeutic and diagnostic injections play an important role in day-to-day clinical practice for many radiologists. When compared with fluoroscopic or computed tomographic (CT) methods of localization, US offers the benefit of real-time confirmation of instrument position without exposing the patient to any ionizing radiation. Target delivery is usually confirmed by direct needle tip visualization and with real-time demonstration of capsular or bursal distention. While often more technically difficult in deeper anatomic spaces, larger patients and smaller delivery needles, US should still be considered the preferred method of image guidance because of these outlined benefits. We present here three cases demonstrating an innovative method of needle-tip position confirmation, termed the "injection jet sign." This technique represents a useful supplement to routine sonographic guidance and allows the clinician to enjoy the benefits of this imaging modality even in the face of other technical challenges.
