Use of Ultrasound to Enhance Musculoskeletal Palpation Skills of the Upper and Lower Limbs Anatomy: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Ultrasound is an important tool to enhance clinical understanding of various musculoskeletal (MSK) structures. Various ultrasound-aided education materials have been incorporated by ultrasound educators to enhance the learning of clinical palpation examination skills. This study aimed to scope ultrasound programs, training, or curricula, purview the demographics of these educators and their learners, and determine if ultrasound-aided education could improve MSK palpation skills of the upper and lower limbs for learners. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the five-step framework (Arksey and O'Malley). The review included a broad literature search of three databases (PubMed, CINHAL, and EMBASE) regarding various ultrasound education strategies that enhance the MSK palpation skills of the upper and lower limbs. Results: Fifteen studies were identified. Most studies involved Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM and R) residents ( Conclusion: Despite the heterogeneity of existing ultrasound training programs in the mode of instruction, training duration, and trainer experience, learners from diverse healthcare backgrounds benefited from the incorporation of ultrasound in their respective training programs to enhance their MSK palpation skills.
