Paediatric point-of-care ultrasound in a resource-limited Melanesian setting: A case series.
Article in Australasian journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an imaging modality with high potential impact on the practice of paediatric emergency medicine in resource-limited settings. Aside from the obvious diagnostic utility, it facilitates safe procedural guidance at the bedside and provides haemodynamic information to guide resuscitation of shocked states. This five-patient paediatric case series illustrates the range of POCUS modalities used while working in emergency medicine at a regional referral hospital in Vanuatu. Cases described include a teenager with meningococcaemia, femoral central line insertion in an infant, ventricular septal defect in an infant, a child with a leg abscess, and a child with rheumatic heart disease.
