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 today an essential element of otorhinolaryngology. During the course of (technical) development, fracture sonography has also gained increasing clinical and scientific interest. Sonography can already be used today as the imaging method of choice for isolated suspected fractures of the nasal or zygomatic bone. Sonography can also be helpful for immediate monitoring of repositioning. In the diagnosis of more complex fractures, however, cross-sectional imaging is still required. This article provides an overview of the possibilities and limitations of fracture sonography in the midface region and offers an introduction to the topic. The performance of the most important examinations is explained using images, and possible pitfalls are outlined.
