Systematic review of musculoskeletal ultrasound learning methodologies.
Article in Australasian journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction/Purpose: As the frequency and morbidity of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders increase, the use of MSK ultrasound has become an important diagnostic and procedural tool. This has amplified the importance of quality MSK ultrasound training for medical professionals. This systematic review evaluated and compared peer-reviewed journal articles on learning methodologies for MSK ultrasound training. Methods: Thirty-three articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria and were evaluated. Results: Results showed a lack of randomised studies that compared learning methodologies. Conclusion: There was wide variability of methodology used based on educational and institutional needs. Further randomised control trials need to be conducted to ascertain best educational practices.
