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

Ultrasound is an important tool in diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. For trauma patients the eFAST (extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma) algorithm is already implemented in the diagnostic pathway. However, critically ill patients without trauma also need a structured approach including an early focused ultrasonographic exam. National and international guidelines regarding critical illnesses such as acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism or acute aortic syndromes recommend the use of ultrasound. We present pathways how ultrasound can be used in the diagnostic approach of common symptoms such as dyspnea, shock and abdominal pain. Using the ABCDE approach this article shows how ultrasound can be incorporated into the diagnostic pathway.
