What is the place of ultrasound in MSK imaging?
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
During the past four decades, ultrasound has become popular as an imaging modality applied to the musculoskeletal (MSK) system, particularly outside the USA, due to its low cost, accessibility, and lack of ionizing radiation. A basic requirement in performing these examinations is to have a core group of radiologists and ultrasound technologists with expertise in MSK ultrasound. The extent to which ultrasound will be part of the imaging offered by a particular radiology practice or in an academic institution will vary according to expertise, availability, and reimbursements. A brief discussion of the technical capabilities of the current generation of ultrasound scanners will be followed by a description of some of the more prevalent MSK ultrasound imaging applications. The extent to which training to perform these exams within and outside of Radiology plays a role is discussed. Applications that are unique to ultrasound, such as dynamic evaluation of musculoskeletal anatomy and some, US-guided interventions are an important part of MSK imaging. Ultrasound is increasingly important in the assessment of superficial structures, such as tendons, small joints, and peripheral nerves. These applications help to establish the place of ultrasound as an important part of the Radiologists approach to MSK imaging. Outside of radiology, for a variety of clinical subspecialties, ultrasound already plays an integral role in MSK imaging.
