1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sonography is the preferred method for primary diagnosis and acute treatment of pathologies involving the neck's soft tissues. Technological advances, particularly high image resolution and multiparametric ultrasound, have improved diagnostic performance. Clinical interest focuses on examining the cervical lymph nodes, salivary glands, and the thyroid gland, as well as space-occupying and inflammatory processes of the neck. In addition, sonography enables targeted minimally invasive histology acquisition using ultrasound-guided biopsies. In this context, the examiner's comprehensive anatomical knowledge and clinical experience are of utmost importance for the quality of findings. This article provides an overview of the most important findings related to sonography of the neck and highlights the relevance of this imaging modality in the hands of the otorhinolaryngologist.
