Ultrasound-guided Microbubble in the Treatment of Cancer: A Mini Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Microbubble is an emerging modality in the field of Medicine for treatment and imaging. Ultrasound-guided microbubble is an effective diagnosing and treatment technique as it can reduce the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. It is also used in targeted gene delivery in gene therapy. The objective of the review article is to formulate a narrative review on the emerging importance of microbubbles in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and its future in cancer management. The article focuses on the effectiveness of ultrasound-targeted microbubble in the treatment of malignancy.
