The diagnostic capabilities of the combined cardiac and lung point of care ultrasound in shocked patients at the emergency department - Resourced limited country.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Purpose: Cardiac, lung, and inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound are commonly performed in the care of emergency patients especially patient presented with hypotension or shock. However, the literature indicated the limitation of IVC to assess shocked patients. This study aims to determine the efficacy of combined cardiac and lung ultrasound for evaluation the etiology of shock. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patient with shock at emergency department, Srinagarind Hospital, Thailand, from January to December 2021. Adult shocked patients who met the criteria were included in this study. Ultrasound and emergency department medical records were documented and analyzed as sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, negative predictive value, diagnostic accuracy, and Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ). Results: One hundred and two who met the criteria were enrolled. Combined cardiac and lung scans were found to be accurate 99.02% and 93.04% in obstructive and cardiogenic shock. In patients with obstructive shock was the almost perfect agreement, (κ) = 0.85. However, distributive, and hypovolemic shock had the low concordance with the final hospital diagnosis, (κ) = 0.37 and 0.43, respectively. Conclusions: The integration of cardiac and lung ultrasound can be effectively used to narrow differential diagnosis of shock.
