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

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an imaging adjunct utilized at select centers for the detection of occult abdominal aortic endograft endoleaks. This report details three cases utilizing intraoperative CEUS to aid in the treatment of clinically significant endoleaks. In particular, CEUS provided real-time feedback regarding treatment success. This approach also allowed for minimalization of iodinated contrast in a patient with advanced renal disease and localization to guide direct needle puncture. CEUS is a powerful imaging modality that can aid in the identification and treatment execution of difficult endoleaks.
