Review in Pediatric radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

When performing contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), ultrasound (US) scanner settings, examination technique, and contrast agent dose and administration must be optimized to ensure that high-quality, diagnostic and reproducible images are acquired for qualitative and quantitative interpretations. When carrying out CEUS in children, examination settings should be tailored to their body size and specific indications, similar to B-mode US. This review article details the basic background knowledge that is needed to perform CEUS optimally in children, including considerations related to US scanner settings and US contrast agent dose selection and administration techniques.
