ArticleGynecology and minimally invasive therapy
A Proposed High-intensity Focused Ultrasound Training Program in Hong Kong.
Article in Gynecology and minimally invasive therapy. 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
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgery is a noninvasive thermal ablation treatment modality, and its clinical application is increasingly introduced into gynecological practices in China and Asia. To further strengthen the technology's standardized management, the Asia-Pacific Association for Gynecologic Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Therapy (APAGE) collected the consensus of well-known experts in the field. They shared opinions on the management standards of the basic requirements for developing this HIFU technology in medical institutions, operators' training requirements, technical management, HIFU training program, etc., Based on the recommendations from APAGE, Hong Kong Focused Ultrasound Surgery Association developed its proposed HIFU training program for gynecologists in Hong Kong. This paper will present the training requirements and hopefully share its training and credentialing rationales with other HIFU medical institutes.
