1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPediatric brain injury is accompanied by hemodynamic perturbations complicating the optimization of cerebral physiology. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) uses dynamic real-time imaging to complement the physical examination and identify hemodynamic abnormalities in preload, contractility, and afterload conditions, but the contribution of cardiac POCUS in the context of pediatric brain injury is unclear.

methodsWe reviewed cardiac POCUS images integrated in clinical care to examine those with neurological injury and hemodynamic abnormalities.

resultsWe discuss three children with acute brain injury and myocardial dysfunction identified using cardiac POCUS by bedside clinicians.

conclusionsCardiac POCUS may have an important role in caring for children with neurologic injury. These patients received personalized care informed by POCUS data in attempts to stabilize hemodynamics and optimize clinical outcomes.
