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

Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) reduces motion artifacts significantly and allows visualization of low-velocity blood flow in vessels; thus, thrombi are clearly demonstrated compared to conventional B-mode and color Doppler imaging. Ultrasonographic images of the lower extremities of a 69-year-old woman with acute ischemic stroke complicated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are presented. Because SMI allows visualization of low-velocity blood flow, echo contrast between the thrombus and the surrounding flow makes it possible to clearly visualize the thrombus. SMI is a useful method to evaluate DVT, especially early after thrombus formation when it is difficult to delineate size and length because of echolucency.
