A Review of Recent Advances in Ultrasound, Placed in the Context of Pain Diagnosis and Treatment.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Ultrasound plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of pain, with significant literature reaching back many years, especially with regard to diagnostic ultrasound and its use for guiding needle-based delivery of drugs. Advances in ultrasound over at least the last decade have opened up new areas of inquiry and potential clinical efficacy in the context of pain diagnosis and treatment. Here we offer an overview of the recent literature associated with ultrasound and pain in order to highlight some promising frontiers at the intersection of these two subjects. We focus first on peripheral application of ultrasound, for which there is a relatively rich, though still young, literature. We then move to central application of ultrasound, for which there is little literature but much promise.
