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

Background and aims: Multimodal imaging virtual fusion navigation offers higher accuracy and real-time guidance compared to single imaging modalities. This case report explores the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)/CT fusion navigation in the localization, characterization, and interventional guidance of a hidden peripancreatic abscess in acute pancreatitis. Methods: The case involved the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and CT virtual fusion navigation to identify and assess the hidden peripancreatic abscess in a patient diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. The fusion technology allowed for real-time navigation during interventional procedures, offering improved lesion localization and characterization. Results: CEUS/CT fusion navigation successfully localized and characterized the hidden peripancreatic abscess. The real-time navigation provided by the fusion technology improved the accuracy and safety of the interventional procedure. Conclusion: CEUS/CT fusion navigation technology demonstrated significant value in the precise localization, detailed characterization, and effective interventional guidance of a hidden peripancreatic abscess in acute pancreatitis. This approach offers a promising tool for managing similar complex cases in clinical practice.
