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

The current management approach for critically ill patients emphasizes maintaining adequate cardiac output and mean arterial pressure. Recently, researchers have increasingly emphasized the clinical significance of venous reflux. Bedside venous Doppler ultrasonography offers continuous, dynamic, and quantifiable assessment of the venous reflux status. In this review, we explore the pertinent literature on assessing the venous reflux status in critically ill patients. We propose a bedside ultrasonographic evaluation method that starts with the hepatic veins and progresses to the portal, renal and intrarenal, femoral, and pulmonary veins. The clinical significance of venous reflux status evaluation is discussed in terms of its effect on right ventricular function, the functioning of other organs, and the guidance of fluid therapy. Overall, we underscore the importance of venous reflux status evaluation in critically ill patients and highlight the benefits of incorporating bedside ultrasonography for the continuous monitoring of venous return.
