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

Ocular ultrasonography is a key imaging modality when the posterior segment cannot be directly visualised by ophthalmoscopy. Image quality and interpretation are operator-dependent. Thus, good technique and understanding of the strengths and limitations of the different ultrasonography modalities e.g. A-scan (time-amplitude), B-scan (brightness), doppler and ultrasound biomicroscopy are valuable, especially in complex cases with diagnostic uncertainty. This article discusses the practical applications of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and management of common vitreoretinal emergencies (vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis) and complications of anterior segment surgery (choroidal effusion, suprachoroidal haemorrhage, malpositioned or dislocated lens).
