Evaluation of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with Sonazoid
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2022. 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
purposeClear visualization of ultrasound (US) images is crucial for successful US-guided nerve block. However, accurate determination of local anesthetic (LA) distribution from US images remains difficult. Sonazoid
methodsWe performed rectus sheath block (RSB) in patients scheduled for laparoscopic abdominal surgery (n = 10). 10 mL of a mixture containing equal amounts of 0.75% ropivacaine and iohexol with the addition of Sonazoid
resultsSonazoid
conclusionSonazoid diluted 100-fold
