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

When learning the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) exam, anatomical orientation can be difficult, especially in the subxiphoid and upper quadrant views. To facilitate understanding in these areas, a novel in-situ cadaver dissection was used to demonstrate anatomy related to the FAST exam. In situ, because the structures remained in normal positions with adjacent organs, layers, and spaces clearly visible from the point of view of the ultrasound probe. These views were then correlated with what was seen on the ultrasound screen. The right upper quadrant and subxiphoid anatomy were viewed in a mirror to match the ultrasound images, and the left upper quadrant was viewed directly from the examiner's position, also matching the view on the ultrasound screen. The in-situ cadaver dissection was developed as a resource to correlate FAST exam ultrasound images in the upper quadrant and subxiphoid regions with related cadaver anatomy.
