Ultrasound Evaluation of Knee Osteoarthritis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
While radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have long been used in the assessment of osteoarthritis (OA), ultrasound imaging has been rapidly accepted by musculoskeletal providers in both the assessment and treatment of OA. A limiting factor in the use of ultrasound is the proper training required by the user for results to be reliable and reproducible. A standardized ultrasound protocol can potentially address this limiting factor. The critical information to consider in a standardized protocol include proper patient positioning, probe alignment, probe orientation, and identification of the appropriate anatomic landmarks. The outlined protocol considers these factors with the purpose of providing a step-by-step method to assess and monitor knee OA.
