[Point-of-care testing in preclinical emergency medicine].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2014. 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
backgroundMeasurement of biological signals directly at the patient (point-of-care testing, POCT) is an established standard in emergency medicine when test results are needed quickly and within a reliable time frame or if external testing requires a disproportionate effort.
objectivesCurrently, the rapid test for β-HCG in urine and POCT measurement of lactate, blood gases, cardiac tropinin, haemoglobin, and hematocrit are well established in emergency medicine. POCT of copeptin, fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP), procalcitonin, coagulation values, natriuretic peptides, D-dimer, and toxicological substances are of future interest. In this article, the appropriate use of point-of-care testing in prehospital emergency medicine is discussed.
resultsApplication of POCT is dependent of the underlying conditions, the availability of appropriate devices, and of suitable reference methods in a central laboratory. In addition, economical and quality aspects play an important role.
conclusionIn emergency departments, POCT is currently developing into a standard measuring method for a number of markers because hospital laboratories are increasingly being merged and consequently reduce their emergency-analytic services. In countries with a high density of hospitals, however, preclinical POCT should be reduced to the minimum necessary.
