Ultrasound in ocular oncology: Technical advances, clinical applications, and limitations.
Review in Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Due to its accessibility and ability for real-time image acquisition of ocular structures, ultrasound has high utility in the visualization of the eye, especially in ocular oncology. In this minireview, we summarize the technical rationale and applications of ultrasound modalities, A-scan, B-scan, high-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and Doppler measurement. A-scan ultrasound uses a transducer of 7-11 MHz, making it useful for determining the echogenicity of ocular tumors (7-8 MHz) and measuring the axial length of the eye (10-11 MHz). B-scan ultrasound operates at 10-20 MHz, which can be used for measuring posterior ocular tumors while UBM operates at 40-100 MHz to evaluate anterior ocular structures. Doppler ultrasonography allows for the detection of tumor vascularization. While ultrasonography has numerous clinical applications due to its favorable penetration compared with optical coherence tomography, it is still limited by its relatively lower resolution. Ultrasound also requires an experienced sonographer due to the need for accurate probe localization to areas of interest.
