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

This study aimed to analyze and subsequently recapitulate the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics in orbital cavernous venous malformation (CVM), exploring the key aspects of differential diagnosis. Several orbital CVM cases (n=56) confirmed by surgery and pathology at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (Chengdu, China) were analyzed retrospectively. The conventional ultrasound showed mostly hypoechoic orbital CVM lesions (64.2%), with clear boundaries (98.2%) and quasi-circular (100%) characteristics. However, the blood flow signals were not rich enough, overlapping with other orbital space-occupying lesions to a considerable extent. The CEUS imaging showed a characteristic progressive enhancement pattern of focal nodules in CVM lesions. In conclusion, CEUS may offer certain specificity and positive significance for the preoperative qualitative diagnosis of orbital CVM.
