Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Diagnosis and Pain Control of Sternal Fracture.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In this case report, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was performed to diagnose a sternal fracture and to perform an ultrasound-guided hematoma block on an elderly patient through which excellent pain control was achieved. POCUS is a valuable tool in expediting the diagnosis of sternal fracture and can be used to safely perform a hematoma block for pain control.
