Refraction artifact on abdominal sonogram.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ultrasonography (US) is the first-line diagnostic tool for observing the whole abdomen. Unfortunately, a wide spectrum of refraction-related artefactual images is very frequently encountered in routine US examinations. In addition, most practitioners currently perform abdominal US examinations without sufficient knowledge of refraction artifacts (RAs). This review article was designed to present many representative RA images seen in the clinical setting, with a brief explanation of the mechanism of these images, in certain cases through an analyzed and reconstructed method using computer simulation that supports clinical observations. RAs are encountered not only with B-mode US but also with Doppler US, contrast-enhanced US, and shear wave elastography. RAs change their appearance according to the situation, but they always have a significant effect on detailed interpretation of abdominal US images. Correct diagnosis of abdominal US relies on a deep understanding of each characteristic artifactual finding, which necessitates knowledge of basic US physics. When analyzing mass lesions, computer simulation analysis helps to reveal the global images of RAs around a lesion.
