The value of oral contrast-enhanced gastric ultrasonography in the diagnosis and staging of benign peptic ulcer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We evaluate the value of oral contrast-enhanced gastric ultrasonography (OCUS) by comparing it with conventional gastroscopy in diagnosing and staging benign peptic ulcer. From July 2018 to December 2020, 44 patients with gastroscopy-confirmed benign peptic ulcers (a total of 45 ulcers were detected), who also received OCUS, were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient's ultrasound images were compared with gastroscopy and pathology findings. The characteristics of ultrasonic images of different stages of ulcer were analysed. A total of 43 ulcers were detected by OCUS in 44 patients with benign peptic ulcers. There were no false positive results among the OCUS exams, but two ulcers were misdiagnosed. OCUS for benign peptic ulcer staging also shows acceptable clinical practice results. OCUS is useful for detecting and staging benign peptic ulcer, and may be considered an alternative method for conventional gastroscopy. OCUS is especially useful in the follow-up of BPU treatment, but futher study is needed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant ulcers.
