Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04612816 (Live Stream of Emergency Ultrasound to Improve Diagnostics in Prehospital Medical Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

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

Acute and emergency physicians need to make rapid and far-reaching decisions on the basis of little diagnostic information. In patients with symptoms suggestive of a cardiopulmonary diagnosis, point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) is becoming increasingly used. In patients with acute dyspnea, chest pain and shock, LUS increases the diagnostic reliability. The BLUE protocol helps to differentiate important diagnoses of acute dyspnea (pulmonary edema, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism, pleural effusions or pneumothorax). LUS is also used for treatment follow-up. It is clearly superior to other diagnostic measures (auscultation, chest X‑ray). With ever smaller "handheld" ultrasound devices, the use of ultrasound is also being increasingly used in preclinical situations.
