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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of ultrasonographic measurement of the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVCD) and abdominal aorta (AAD) for assessing volume status. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis was a prospective, observational study. A total of 23 volunteers participated in the study. Each participant was selected randomly. All participants completed the 2016 Kaunas Marathon. Participants filed out a brief survey about their fluid intake (in standardised glasses) in the 24 h before the race and during the race. Participants underwent ultrasound measurements 10-40 min before the start of the race and 3-15 min after finishing the race. To visualize respiratory variation, M-mode was used, with the beam crossing the IVCD 2 cm from the right atrium. The AAD was measured 1 cm above the celiac trunk. IVCD in expiration (IVCDexp)/AAD was calculated by dividing the value of IVCDexp by the value of AAD. The findings were compared with difference in body mass index.

resultsThe mean weight lost after the marathon was 2.93 kg (

conclusionUltrasonographic assessment of IVCDexp could be useful in the evaluation of volume status.
