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
Aim: Intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) is a highly sensitive and non-invasive detective method that can be used to detect complete calculus clearance during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this study, we examined the preferable timing of IDUS during ERCP lithotomy. Methods: From 2017 to 2020, patients with choledocholithiasis were randomized into IDUS-BL (IDUS performed before lithotomy) group, IDUS-ALC (cholangiography and IDUS performed after lithotomy) group, and IDUS-AL group (IDUS performed after lithotomy) group. The influence of IDUS on the accuracy of prejudgment, the incidence of residual stones, the need for repeated lithotomy (RL), and fluoroscopy time were analyzed. Results: A total of 184 patients were enrolled. No residual stones were found during follow-up in any of the three groups. There was no difference in prejudgment accuracy rate on size and number of stones between different groups (all Conclusion: IDUS performed after lithotomy is preferable for shorten fluoroscopy time during ERCP. IDUS is a reliable solution for the stone omission, which may be more valuable for patients with high-risk factors of RL.
