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

objectiveTo study the clinical application of ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM) in evaluation of cardiac function in children with severe pneumonia.

methodsTwenty-nine children with severe pneumonia were enrolled in the observation group and forty-three children with common pneumonia were enrolled in the control group. The USCOM was used to measure the cardiac function indices in the two groups. The results were compared between the two groups. The changes in cardiac function indices after treatment were evaluated in the observation group. ESULTS: The observation group had a significantly higher heart rate and significantly lower cardiac output, systolic volume, and aortic peak velocity than the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in cardiac index or systemic vascular resistance between the two groups (P>0.05). In the observation group, the heart rate, cardiac output, systolic volume, aortic peak velocity, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance were significantly improved after treatment (P<0.05).

conclusionsThe USCOM is a fast, convenient, and accurate approach for dynamic measurement of cardiac function and overall circulation state in children with severe pneumonia. The USCOM can provide a basis for diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of the disease, which is quite useful in clinical practice.
