The feasibility of high-resolution ultrasonography and MRI in diagnosing finger lesions.
Review in Journal of ultrasound, 2022. 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
purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of both ultrasonography and MRI findings in finger lesions.
methodsThis study was carried out on seventy symptomatic patients (53 females and 17 males). Their ages ranged from 6 to 64 years. All patients were referred to the diagnostic radiology department from various outpatient clinics of general, orthopedic, cosmetic surgeries and rheumatology. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations for rheumatoid arthritis patients and radiological investigations. Whenever we had a surgical and pathological final diagnosis, it was considered the gold standard of the results. When only ultrasound and MRI were correlated, MRI was considered the gold standard.
resultsIn our study, we found that ultrasonography is useful for evaluating a variety of lesions of the finger. Its widespread availability, relatively low cost, and high spatial resolution make it an excellent tool for investigating finger disorders. MR is the best imaging modality for lesion characterization. By systematically using clinical history, lesion location, findings on radiographs and MR imaging features, the radiologist can differentiate between determinate and indeterminate lesions.
conclusionWe concluded that ultrasonography and MRI are complementary to reach a correct diagnosis in different etiologies of finger lesions.
