B-lines score on lung ultrasound as a direct measure of respiratory dysfunction in ICU patients with acute kidney injury.
Observational study in International urology and nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03393065 (Lung Ultrasound Guided Fluid Management Protocol for the Critically Ill Patient), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
purposeFluid overload is frequently found in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and is associated with adverse outcomes. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) are potentially useful tools for the noninvasive volume assessment. We evaluated the utility of these measures, alone or in combination, in estimating the PaO
methodsIn a prospective pilot observational study we included 45 patients who presented on admission or developed at any time during intensive care unit stay AKI defined according to KDIGO criteria. Patients were studied at baseline and after 48 h with LUS, BIS and arterial blood gas.
resultsIn the univariable analysis, the PaO
conclusionLUS can be used for functional lung evaluation and identification of patients with increase pulmonary water content and decrease PaO
