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

Ultrasound is the most used interdisciplinary imaging technique in clinical routine for assessment of renal pathologies. This includes the monitoring of cystic renal lesions, which can be classified as non-complicated or complicated and by means of occurrence as solitary or multifocal lesions. The Bosniak-classification (I-IV) classifies renal cysts in 5 different categories and is used for decisions of further clinical treatment. This classification was developed for computed tomography and has been adopted for magnetic resonance imaging as well as contrast-enhanced ultrasound. In the following review article, cystic kidney lesions and their differentiation using contrast-enhanced ultrasound are presented and an overview of the therapy options is given. In interventional procedures, CEUS can make a valuable contribution in histological sampling, reduce radiation exposure and, under certain circumstances, the number of interventions for the patient.
