Paediatric orbital ultrasound: Tips and tricks.
Review in Australasian journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The orbital structures are ideally suited for ultrasound examination due to their superficial location and cystic composition of the eye. However, orbital ultrasound remains an underutilised modality due to preference for other cross-sectional modalities in general practice. Aim: In this article, we review the basic principles, clinical uses and technique of orbital ultrasound in peadiatric patients. Materials and methods: The clinical utility of orbital ultrasound in peadiatric patients is demonstrated using selected cases. Results: Ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis of various posterior segment pathologies, especially in conditions causing opacification of light-conducting media of the eye. It is also beneficial in diagnosing various orbital pathologies, particularly in differentiating solid from cystic lesions. Discussion: The added advantages of its use in children include lack of ionising radiation and reduced requirement of sedation or general anesthesia. Ultrasound is the most practical initial investigation in cases where ophthalmoscopy is limited by opacification of ocular media. The addition of color Doppler on ultrasound can give additional information about the vascularity of the lesion. Conclusion: Use of ultrasound can be streamlined into the workup of various orbital and ocular pathologies either as an initial investigation or as a problem-solving tool in cases with a diagnostic dilemma on other modalities.
