The Reliability of Ultrasonographic Assessment of Depth of Invasion: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Depth of invasion (DOI) has been recognized to be a strong prognosticator for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Several diagnostic techniques can be employed for DOI assessment, however intraoral ultrasonography has been increasingly applied for the intraoral evaluation of OSCCs. The aim of the present study is to review the evidence on the application of intraoral ultrasonography to the assessment of DOI in patients affected by OSCC. A systematic electronic and manual literature search was performed, and data from eligible studies were reviewed, selected, and extracted. The studies had to report the correlation between DOI estimated with ultrasonography versus histopathology. A meta-analysis was conducted on the quantitative data available. Sixteen articles were included in the review following the screening of the initial 228 studies retrieved from the literature. The meta-analysis showed a significant correlation between ultrasonographic and histopathologic measurements (
