Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in a Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic: A Randomized Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05332847 (Point of Care Ultrasonography Assessment During Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic Changes Patients' Management- A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition with the potential to progress to right heart failure. Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS), used and interpreted in real time at the bedside to further the cardiopulmonary assessment, has the potential to improve the longitudinal care of PAH patients in the ambulatory setting. Patients from PAH clinics at two academic medical centers were randomized to either a POCUS assessment cohort or non-POCUS standard care (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05332847). The POCUS group received blinded heart, lung, and vascular ultrasound assessments. Thirty-six patients were randomized to the study and followed over time. Mean age was 65 in both groups and majority female (76.5% and 88.9% females in POCUS and control, respectively). Median time for POCUS assessment was 11 min (range 8-16). There were significantly more changes in management in the POCUS group than control (73% vs. 27%,
