Diagnostic value of high-resolution ultrasonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of nasal bone fracture.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To compare the diagnostic abilities of high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) and computed tomography (CT) in different types of nasal bone fractures (NBFs). Methodology: Clinical data of patients with suspected NBFs who were examined in the second hospital of Hebei Medical University from April 2023 to April 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent HRUS and CT examination. Based on the results of CT examination and the characteristics of ultrasound images, NBFs were characterized as: simple linear fracture, comminuted fracture, compound fracture and incomplete fracture. Results: According to the CT examination, out of 100 cases of suspected NBFs, there were 38 cases of simple linear fractures, 18 cases of comminuted fractures, 11 cases of compound fractures, four cases of incomplete fractures and 29 cases of undetected NBF. HRUS identified 41 cases of simple linear fractures, 19 cases of comminuted fractures, nine cases of compound fractures, four cases of incomplete fractures and in 27 cases, NBFs were not detected. The detection rates of HRUS and CT examination were 73.0% and 71.0%, respectively, with no significant difference in diagnostic ability (P > 0.05). Conclusions: HRUS and CT have similar efficacy in diagnosing different types of nasal bone fractures(NBFs.).
