The use of critical care echocardiography in peri-arrest and cardiac arrest scenarios: Pros, cons and what the future holds.
Article in Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 2021. 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
Echocardiography is being increasingly deployed as a diagnostic and monitoring tool in the critically ill. This rise in popularity has led to its recommendation as a core competence in intensive care, with several training routes available. In the peri-arrest and cardiac arrest population, point of care focused echocardiography has the potential to transform patient care and improve outcomes. Be it via diagnosis of shock aetiology and reversibility or assessing response to treatment and prognostication. This narrative review discusses current and future applications of echocardiography in this patient group and provides a structure with which one can approach such patients.
