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

Patients with musculoskeletal complaints have either been ignored or advised investigations far beyond their means or comfort. Focusing attention only on spine and head restricted the evaluation in cases of trauma and were followed up only if the injuries were life threatening. In the same vein, the extremities often got overlooked or at best were evaluated only by plain radiographs. Soft tissue injuries were therefore often missed and not only raised the morbidity in the patient but also dissatisfaction towards the treating physician. Recent exponential improvement in medical ultrasound technology has revolutionised the field of musculoskeletal imaging. Cutting-edge technology using state-of-the-art machines and high-frequency transducers have placed it in a stronger position as compared to in the past in many aspects of musculoskeletal imaging. Also, with better techniques and understanding of the modality, under given set of circumstances MSK ultrasound has far reaching results allowing for detailed evaluation of soft tissues including nerves, ligaments and tendons.
