Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Renal Imaging and Intervention.
Review in Current urology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purpose of reviewIn recent years, there has been renewed interest in the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in abdominal imaging and intervention. The goal of this article is to review the practical applications of CEUS in the kidney, including renal mass characterization, treatment monitoring during and after percutaneous ablation, and biopsy guidance. RECENT
findingsCurrent evidence suggests that CEUS allows accurate differentiation of solid and cystic renal masses and is an acceptable alternative to either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for characterization of indeterminate renal masses. CEUS is sensitive and specific for diagnosing residual or recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following percutaneous ablation. Furthermore, given its excellent spatial and temporal resolution, CEUS is well suited to demonstrate tumoral microvascularity associated with malignant renal masses and is an effective complement to conventional grayscale ultrasound (US) for percutaneous biopsy guidance. Currently underutilized, CEUS is an important problem-solving tool in renal imaging and intervention whose role will continue to expand in coming years.
