Ultrasound of the pediatric chest.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06214312 (Pulmonary Ultrasound for the Assessment of Atelectasis in Anesthetized Children Using a Laryngeal Mask Airway), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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
Cross-sectional imaging modalities like MRI and CT provide images of the chest which are easily understood by clinicians. However, these modalities may not always be available and are expensive. Lung ultrasonography (US) has therefore become an important tool in the hands of clinicians as an extension of the clinical exam, which has been underutilized by the radiologists. Reinforcement of the ALARA principle along with the dictum of "Image gently" have resulted in increased use of modalities which do not require radiation. Hence, ultrasound, which was earlier being used mainly to confirm the presence of pleural effusion as well as evaluate it and differentiate solid from cystic masses, is now being used to evaluate the lung as well. This review highlights the utility of ultrasound of the paediatric chest. It also describes the normal and abnormal appearances of the paediatric lung on ultrasound as well as the advantages and limitations of this modality.
