Form and Function: Learning Anatomy Using Ultrasound.
Article in Medical science educator, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Ultrasound (US) is increasingly used across medical specialities as a diagnostic tool and medical faculties are therefore further incorporating imaging into their programmes. Using US within undergraduate instruction has several benefits. US, as a learning instrument, may strengthen existing anatomical knowledge and improve visual understanding of anatomy. The cost-effectiveness, as well as portability of the US, makes it a valuable means to add to traditional anatomy teaching modalities. Furthermore, students have an opportunity to develop skills in interpreting US images and this may add a different element to the learning of anatomy. This study aimed to explore undergraduate clinical anatomy students' perceptions of the use of US as an add-on to cadaveric dissection. Students were invited to participate in virtual focus group discussions. Three virtual focus group discussions were conducted, and 11 participants volunteered to take part. Thematic analysis of the data generated six themes. These are described as Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-023-01806-y.
