Ultrasonographic Assessment of Diaphragmatic Function and Its Clinical Application in the Management of Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common life-threatening medical condition, with multiple underlying etiologies. In these cases, many factors related to systemic inflammation, prolonged use of steroids, and lung mechanical abnormalities (such as hyperinflation or increased elastic recoil due to pulmonary oedema or fibrosis) may act as synergic mechanisms leading to diaphragm dysfunction. The assessment of diaphragm function with ultrasound has been increasingly investigated in the emergency department and during hospital stay as a valuable tool for providing additional anatomical and functional information in many acute respiratory diseases. The diaphragmatic ultrasound is a noninvasive and repeatable bedside tool, has no contraindications, and allows the physician to rapidly assess the presence of diaphragmatic dysfunction; this evaluation may help in estimating the need for mechanical ventilation (and the risk of weaning failure), as well as the risk of longer hospital stay and higher mortality rate. This study presents an overview of the recent evidence regarding the evaluation of diaphragmatic function with bedside ultrasound and its clinical applications, including a discussion of real-life clinical cases.
