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

clinical/methodical issueAcute, non-traumatic abdominal pain is one of the main reasons for medical consultation in pediatric patients. Knowledge of different diseases and their age dependence is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsUltrasonography is the imaging method of choice. X‑ray is only used in case of emergency, e. g., suspected perforation. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and elastography complement ultrasonography. PERFORMANCE: Magnetic resonance imaging is of increasing relevance for differential diagnosis of unclear sonographic results. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: The primary imaging modality in pediatric patients is ultrasonography. Cross-sectional imaging should only be used in cases of unclear sonographic findings.
