Extravascular Lung Water and Effect on Oxygenation Assessed by Lung Ultrasound in Adult Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction The extravascular lung water content is determined by the use of lung ultrasound (LUS) which is represented as B-lines. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the LUS measurement of extravascular lung water was correlated to changes in oxygenation. Methods This prospective cohort study was comprised of 73 patients with an average age of 56 (range: 18 to 87 years) who underwent elective cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. The LUS score was performed preoperatively, time zero (T0), at one hour (T1), and at 24 hours (T2) post-surgery. Additionally, arterial oxygen partial pressure and fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO
