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

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between ultrasonographic gastric antral measurements and aspirated gastric residual volume (GRV) in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN). This prospective observational study included 56 enterally-fed critically ill patients in one-year period. All imaging procedures were done at 30-degree head-of-bed elevation and supine position on epigastric region of abdomen with 2.5-6 MHz convex-array probe just before routine GRV aspiration. The antral cross-sectional area (CSA) was calculated by measuring the anteroposterior (dAP) and craniocaudal diameters (dCC) of the gastric antrum. Total 283 ultrasonographic gastric antrum imaging procedures were done. In only eight (2.82%) attempts, the antrum could not be visualized due to inhibition from intra-gastric air or gas in the surrounding intestinal lumen. The calculated mean antral CSA was 568.15 ± 348.37 mm
