In one paragraph

Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04989439 (Comparison of Computertomography Scan, Electrical Impedance Tomography, and Ultrasound of the Lung in Infants - A Prospective Explorative Observational Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

In the last years, imaging has played a key role in the diagnosis and monitoring and critical illness, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) are the conventional techniques most performed in the critically ill patients, the latter being the gold standard to assess lung aeration in ARDS patients. In addition, two bedside techniques are now gaining popularity alongside the conventional ones: lung ultrasound (LUS) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). These techniques do not involve the use of ionizing radiations, are non-invasive and relatively easy to use, and are under extensive investigation as a complement, and for some application a substitution of conventional techniques. At last, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information on the lung and respiratory function, and are increasingly used in research to improve the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ARDS. The purpose of this review is to give an up-to-date overview of the conventional and emerging imaging techniques available the diagnosis and management of patients with ARDS.
