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

The present retrospective study was designed to explore the value of conventional ultrasound (US) and Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging and Quantification (VTIQ) in the assessment of mesenteric lymphadenitis (ML) in a paediatric population. A total of 103 patients with ML and 60 healthy paediatric patients were examined. VTIQ was performed to assess mesenteric lymph node (MLN) stiffness via shear-wave velocity (SWV). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to reveal independent variables for the identification of ML. The diagnostic performance of US, and US combined with VTIQ, were compared. All the quantitative VTIQ parameters (including the SWV
