Diagnostic ability of intraoperative ultrasound for identifying tumor residual in glioma surgery operation.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Achieving total glioma resection represents a major challenge to neurosurgeons with no distinct margin between tumor and surrounding brain tissue. Many imaging methods are employed in surgery visualization and resection control. We performed this meta-analysis to assess the diagnosis value of intraoperative ultrasound and judged whether ultrasound is a suitable tool in detecting glioma residual. The databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Weipu were systematically searched to find out relevant studies and published up to May 5, 2017. A total of 14 studies involving 542 participants met the selection criteria and bivariate mixed effects models were used for analysis. The parameters and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed on Stata 12.0 software. The pooled sensitivity was 0.75 (95%CI: 0.62-0.84), specificity was 0.88 (95%CI: 0.79-0.94), positive likelihood ratios was 6.27 (95%CI: 3.76-10.47), negative likelihood ratios was 0.29 (95%CI: 0.20-0.42), diagnostic odds ratios was 21.83 (95%CI: 14.20-33.55) and area under the curve of summary receiver operator characteristic was 0.89. Stratified meta-analysis showed sensitivity and area under the curve in low-grade glioma were both higher than high-grade glioma. The Deek's plot showed no significant publication bias (t = -1.03,
