Diagnostic Value Evaluation of Bed Ultrasound Compared with Wound Openness to Diagnose Tendon Rupture in Penetrating Hand Trauma at Taleghani Hospital in Kermanshah, 2019.

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
objectiveTo determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasound to diagnose the patients with tendon rupture of upper extremity referred to Taleghani Hospital's center of Kermanshah in 2019.
methodsThis was a diagnostic value study which performed on 113 patients with non-fracture penetrating hand trauma. In the first stage, all patients have been diagnosed with tendon injury by a first-year resident and then ultrasound was performed by a trained 2
resultsResults showed that ultrasound was able to identify 73 patients of 77 individuals with tendon injury. Of the patients with complete rupture, 45 individuals were correctly diagnosed based on the results of surgery in ultrasound test. Ultrasound and surgical findings were significantly different. Of the 36 individuals without confirmed rupture in surgery, 10 cases were diagnosed with tendon rupture by ultrasound. Of 52 cases of complete rupture based on surgical findings, 45 individuals were correctly diagnosed based on the results of surgery. Twenty-one patients were correctly diagnosed based on ultrasound out of 25 cases of partial rupture based on surgical findings.
conclusionOverall, the results of the present study show that ultrasound is not very sensitive and specific in diagnosing of upper extremity tendon rupture and cannot be used as a reliable alternative in diagnosing of upper exteremity rupture; however, further studies is essential according to the limitations of this research. The limitations were low sample size in subgroups analysis based on the presence of complete or partial rupture and performing the ultrasound by an emergency medicine resident who is less experienced rather than radiologists.
