In-Clinic Detection of Optic Disc Drusen Using Hand-Held Ultrasound Technology.

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
Neuro-ophthalmologists commonly receive referrals for possible papilloedema. One common cause of oedematous-appearing optic nerves is optic disc drusen (ODD). We describe a novel, handheld, portable ultrasound device that can be used to identify ODD in cases of suspected papilloedema. We demonstrate here that this portable ultrasound system can detect ODD in the outpatient ophthalmology and neurology settings. The portable version demonstrates several advantages. The device can be carried into the office, readily reducing visit times and office space. It is much more affordable than a traditional ultrasound machine. Images can be uploaded to a secure server and imported into the patient's chart. These cases represent one potential ophthalmological application of this novel technology that could augment the ophthalmological examination and improve patient care in the future.
