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

backgroundIntraoperative ultrasound is a routine procedure in abdominal surgery. Not only detection of focal lesions but also perfusion and elasticity analyses using color-coded Doppler sonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography enable highly sensitive and highly specific diagnostics, especially in oncological surgery.

objectiveThis article provides an overview on current techniques of intraoperative ultrasound and gives an outlook on future possibilities and applications. MATERIAL AND

methodsLiterature-based presentation of evidence-based intraoperative ultrasound, discussion of current basic research and expert recommendations.

resultsModern intraoperative ultrasound is a highly efficient technique for detection and characterization of focal space-occupying lesions in surgery of benign and malignant diseases.

conclusionIntraoperative ultrasound is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tool, providing real-time diagnostics with a manageable amount of technical equipment. Thus, preoperative diagnostics can be refined, partly resulting in a modification of intraoperative treatment management. Future developments in the fields of digital image fusion with preoperative sectional imaging, optical guidance of surgical instruments and molecular targeted tumor therapy will increase the importance of intraoperative sonography even more.
