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

Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of pediatric gynecologic pathology, such as Müllerian anomalies and intrauterine device (IUD) malposition. The diagnostic value of this examination can be significantly increased by adding three-dimensional (3D) images, which offer true coronal reconstructions and enhance anatomic detail. Increasing the yield of the examination has the potential to spare the patient discomfort, time, and/or cost. This pictorial essay explores the applications of this widely available, but underutilized, tool while providing embryologic context and pathologic background for some of the most consequential diagnoses radiologists must recognize.
