Thoracic Ultrasonography in Calves: A Narrative Review of Techniques and Reporting Practices.
Review in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Ultrasonography of the bovine lung is a noninvasive technique allowing recognition of lower respiratory tract lesions and differentiation from disease limited to the upper respiratory tract. Techniques for scanning the thorax have evolved to facilitate examination of cohorts of calves quickly, while maintaining accuracy. Classification systems for the interpretation of images, their assignment as normal or abnormal, and grading of their severity are varied. Without a reporting consensus, comparison of short-and long-term outcomes attributable to ultrasonographic findings is challenging. Differences in operator agreement might complicate interpretation further. The objective of this review was to gather methods for screening calf lungs using thoracic ultrasonography and describe the heterogeneity in scanning techniques and methods of image interpretation, including available scoring methods.
