Systematic Review of Current Ultrasound Use in Education and Simulation in the Field of Urology.
Synthesis in Current urology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 the reviewWe investigate articles in the literature published in the last 5 years (2014-2019) regarding ultrasound education in the specialty of urology. RECENT
findingsUltrasound has been touted as the modern day stethoscope. Medical educational governing bodies have encouraged the incorporation of ultrasound in medical school education. However, in this review, we find that there are gaps in educational opportunities and standardization in residency and continuing education for urology practitioners. We have identified several new tools for procedure-specific training published in the last 5 years including MRI fusion prostate biopsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. New technology is being fused with traditional ultrasound training to provide procedure-specific ultrasound knowledge. There is a need to incorporate new technology and standards into resident and continuing medical education.
