[CEUS-diagnostic workup of cystic renal lesions].
Review in Der Radiologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
clinical/methodical issueCystic renal lesions are common incidental findings in radiological imaging and they should be adequately examined to be able to characterize them as benign or malignant. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL
methodsIt is not always possible to sufficiently characterize cystic renal lesion solely using native B‑mode sonography and color-Doppler sonography. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), it is possible to dynamically evaluate the perfusion of cystic renal lesions and to characterize the potential malignancy of these lesions using the Bosniak classification in order to give recommendations regarding further work-up. CEUS can also be used in patients with contraindications for other radiological imaging modalities as it uses a contrast agent with almost no side effects. PERFORMANCE: Using CEUS, cystic renal lesions can be reliably characterized with a diagnostic accuracy greater than 90%. ACHIEVEMENTS: CEUS is a useful method in diagnosing and characterizing unclear cystic renal lesions and should always be considered as a viable diagnostic tool. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: CEUS should always be performed in initially unclear cases and is a useful additional tool for the diagnosis and characterization of unclear cystic renal lesions.
