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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of real-time tissue elastography (RTE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters in cervical cancer (CC). Methods: This retrospective study included RTE and CEUS records of 144 patients who underwent cervical ultrasound in Xi'an People's Hospital from January 2022 to August 2023. Patients were grouped into the malignant group and the benign group based on the characteristics of the cervical lesions. The RTE and CEUS parameters were compared between the groups and between patients with different pathological features and prognoses within the malignant group. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of RTE and CEUS parameters for the prognosis of patients with malignant CC. Results: The elasticity score, strain ratio (SR), time to peak (TTP), peak intensity (PI), and area under the curve (AUC) of the malignant group were higher than those of the benign group (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the levels of RTE and CEUS parameters among patients with different International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages and pathological grades (P<0.05). The RTE and CEUS parameter levels positively correlated with the FIGO staging and pathological grading of cervical cancer (P<0.05). The elasticity score, TTP, PI, SR, and AUC of patients with poor prognosis were higher than those with good prognosis (P<0.05). The combined predictive efficacy of RTE and CEUS parameters for the prognosis of CC was superior to their individual predictions. Conclusions: The combination of RTE and CEUS parameters of CC patients are closely related to the pathological characteristics and prognosis of the disease.
