Utilizing a novel point of care ultrasound (POCUS) protocol to guide diuresis - A case series.

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
Volume assessment is an important, but challenging but crucial aspect of patient care. Fluid balance is affected by volume expansion, sepsis/shock states, cardiac and kidney failure and is present in the majority of patients. Similarly, in critically ill patients on diuretics, both excessive and inadequate diuresis can worsen outcomes. Chest X-ray (CXR) and auscultation are poorly predictive of volume status, while bioimpedance and blood volume monitoring have limitations at the bedside [4]. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter as measured by POCUS is a marker of intravascular volume that can provide a real-time assessment to guide diuresis. The Reverse Falls Protocol combines lung and IVC US to enable the clinician to visualize, in real-time, the patient's intravascular and extravascular volume and to set diuresis goals. We present a series of cases where euvolemia was achieved using the principles described by O'Hara, Chabra & Ahmad's Reverse Falls Protocol.
