Role of point-of-care ultrasound study in early disposition of patients with undifferentiated acute dyspnea in emergency department: a multi-center prospective study.
Trial report in Journal of ultrasound, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
introductionSonography is a safe and simple diagnostic modality which can help emergency physicians in their clinical decision makings and improve the patient disposition process in emergency departments.
objectiveThis prospective multi-center study evaluates the role of bedside ultrasound performed by emergency physicians in accelerating the patient disposition process in cases with acute undifferentiated dyspnea.
methods103 patients were randomized to "early ultrasound" and "routine assessment" groups. In early ultrasound group, emergency physicians performed bedside ultrasound scans on heart and lungs as soon as possible after triage and randomization. In routine assessment group, ultrasound was used whenever the emergency physician or other consultant services ordered or performed it. Mean randomization-to-diagnosis time was compared in two studied groups.
resultsMean randomization-to-diagnosis time was 79.33 (± 38.90) min in routine assessment and 42.61 (± 19.20) min in early ultrasound groups, showing a statistically significant difference (p value < 0.01).
conclusionUsing early sonography in assessing the patients with undifferentiated acute dyspnea in emergency department decreases the patient turnover time while increasing the diagnostic accuracy.
