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

In recent decades, ultrasound-guided percutaneous infiltrative procedures have gained prominence in treating musculoskeletal disorders, providing enhanced accuracy over traditional "blind" techniques. This study examines the utility of the Power Doppler ultrasound technique, specifically the "Jet sign," in identifying needle placement during infiltrative treatments. A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 5,376 patients where procedures were performed under ultrasound guidance from January 2014 to January 2022. While the needle tip was successfully visualized in 7% of cases, the Jet sign facilitated accurate localization in 368 instances. This technique capitalizes on the creation of a high-pressure fluid flow, enabling real-time monitoring and precise targeting of the therapeutic agent while minimizing complications. The findings underscore the effectiveness of the Jet sign in enhancing procedural accuracy and suggest its incorporation into clinical practice to optimize outcomes in ultrasound-assisted infiltrative therapies.
