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 article investigates the first use of dynamic microvascularization of liver lesions in clinical evaluation using real-time super-resolution contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SR CEUS). A retrospective analysis of SR CEUS examinations of liver lesions was performed. All examinations were conducted using an SC7-1U convex probe after the bolus injection of the ultrasound contrast agent. Digital cine loops were stored for independent evaluation. The evaluation was performed with respect to parallel measuring lines (the diameter corresponded to the capillary density) in the area of the reference lesion, liver tissue, and liver capsule using statistical analysis. In total, 65 patients (female
