Ultrasound-Assisted Diagnosis of an Intraosseous Foreign Body in a Disc Golf-Related Injury: A Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case describes the imaging findings and clinical details of an adult man who sustained an injury to the third metacarpal and how the use of diagnostic ultrasound was used to assist in the diagnosis of an intraosseous foreign body. A 31-year-old man presented to an urgent care with redness, swelling, and pain following a history of trauma and laceration to the dorsum of his right hand 24 hours ago. After one week of moderate improvement with oral and intramuscular antibiotic therapy, the plateaued clinical picture prompted imaging with diagnostic ultrasound, which revealed a retained foreign body within the head of the third metacarpal. A non-contrast MRI confirmed the presence of a retained foreign body and demonstrated findings concerning for osteomyelitis. Two days later, the foreign body was removed surgically without complication, and the patient was able to return to normal activities with modifications less than a week after surgery.
