Point-of-care ultrasound in diagnosis and management of congestive nephropathy.
Review in World journal of critical care medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Congestive nephropathy is kidney dysfunction caused by the impact of elevated venous pressures on renal hemodynamics. As a part of cardiorenal syndrome, the diagnosis is usually made based on history and physical examination, with findings such as jugular venous distension, a third heart sound, and vital signs as supporting findings. More recently, however, these once though objective measures have come under scrutiny for their accuracy. At the same time, bedside ultrasound has increased in popularity and is routinely being used by clinicians to take some of the guess work out of making the diagnosis of volume overload and venous congestion. In this mini-review, we will discuss some of the traditional methods used to measure venous congestion, describe the role of point-of-care ultrasound and how it can ameliorate a clinician's evaluation, and offer a description of venous excess ultrasound score, a relatively novel scoring technique used to objectively quantify congestion. While there is a paucity of published large scale clinical trials evaluating the potential benefit of ultrasonography in venous congestion compared to gold standard invasive measurements, more study is underway to solidify the role of this objective measure in daily clinical practice.
