Effect of prone position on right ventricular dysfunction due to pulmonary embolism assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Prone position has shown beneficial hemodynamic effects in patients with right ventricular dysfunction associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome decreasing the right ventricle afterload. We describe the case of a 57-year-old man with right ventricular dysfunction associated with pulmonary thromboembolism with severe hypoxemia that required mechanical ventilation in prone position. With this maneuver, we verified an improvement not only in his oxygenation, but also in his right ventricular function assessed with speckle tracking echocardiography. Our case shows the potential beneficial effect of the prone position maneuver in severely hypoxemic patients with right ventricular dysfunction associated with pulmonary thromboembolism.
