Quantitative lung ultrasound detects dynamic changes in lung recruitment in the preterm lamb.
Article in Pediatric research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundLung ultrasound (LUS) may not detect small, dynamic changes in lung volume. Mean greyscale measurement using computer-assisted image analysis (Q-LUS
methodsPreterm lambs (n = 40) underwent LUS of the dependent or non-dependent lung during static pressure-volume curve mapping. Total and regional lung volumes were determined using the super-syringe technique and electrical impedance tomography. Q-LUS
resultsDependent Q-LUS
conclusionQ-LUS IMPACT: Lung ultrasound (LUS) offers continuous, radiation-free imaging that may play a role in assessing lung recruitment but may not detect small changes in lung volume. Mean greyscale image analysis using computer-assisted quantitative LUS (Q-LUS
