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
purposeThis study aims to explore the clinical value of transperineal ultrasonography with a high-frequency probe and a three-dimensional (3D) end-fire probe in locating the internal openings of perianal abscesses and anal fistulas.
methodsEighty patients who were diagnosed with perianal abscesses and anal fistulas and treated between June 2023 and December 2024 were enrolled in this study. An observation group (n = 40) and a control group (n = 40) were established, and intergroup comparisons were conducted on the diagnostic efficacy of the intervention in locating internal openings and categorizing abscesses according to the Parks classification system.
resultsThe two groups showed no significant differences in baseline data (
conclusionTransperineal ultrasonography using both a high-frequency probe and a 3D end-fire probe can enhance the accurate localization of the internal openings of perianal abscesses and anal fistulas and assist in the accurate classification of abscesses. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The combined dual-probe ultrasonography method is a non-invasive, rapid, and highly accurate preoperative imaging approach that aids in precise surgical planning, reduces postoperative recurrence, and offers a practical diagnostic alternative for institutions without access to magnetic resonance imaging.
