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
Medical schools are increasingly incorporating ultrasound into undergraduate medical education. The global integration of ultrasound into teaching curricula and physical examination necessitates a strict evaluation of the technology's benefit and the reporting of results. Course structures and assessment instruments vary and there are no national or worldwide standards yet. This systematic literature review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the various formats for assessing ultrasound skills. The key questions were framed in the PICO format (Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome). A review of literature using Embase, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Google Scholar was performed up to May 2021, while keywords were predetermined by the authors. Inclusion criteria were as follows: prospective as well as retrospective studies, observational or intervention studies, and studies outlining how medical students learn ultrasound. In this study, 101 articles from the literature search matched the inclusion criteria and were investigated. The most frequently used methods were objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE), multiple choice questions, and self-assessments
