Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound as a Main Radiological Diagnostic Method for Primary Liver Neoplasms and Hemangiomas.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a relatively new approach for the definitive diagnosis of focal liver lesions (FLL). The essential advantages of CEUS are affordability, absence of radiation, and negligible nephrotoxicity-making this diagnostic approach more preferable. This review includes data from 39 different research studies published during the last 10 years, selected through the MeSH strategy in PubMed. We conclude that CEUS is a promising approach for diagnosing primary liver neoplasms and it is an excellent radiological approach for children and pregnant women because of the absence of radiation and nephrotoxicity. Studies showed that CEUS is a very good approach for the differentiation of a variety of hemangiomas and for a detailed description of those findings. Therefore, CEUS is an important and progressive method for the diagnosis of liver neoplasms. The regular use of CEUS will facilitate the diagnosis of primary liver lesions.
