Tips and tricks for a correct interpretation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2024. 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
Although contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a widespread and easily manageable technique, image interpretation errors can occur due to the operator's inexperience and/or lack of knowledge of the frequent pitfalls, which may cause uncertain diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Indeed, knowledge of the basic physical and technical principles of ultrasound is needed both to understand sonographic image findings and to evaluate the potential and limits of the method. Like the B-mode ultrasound, the quality of the CEUS examination is also subject not only to the adequate manual skill of the operator but also to his/her deep knowledge of the technique which improves the quality of the image helping avoid misleading artifacts. In this review, the main parameters influencing a CEUS examination will be described by taking into account the most common errors and pitfalls and their possible solutions.
