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 use of cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (P.O.C.U.S.) is underutilized in the field of internal medicine for the assessment of patients with cardiac complaints. Numerous studies in emergency medicine, anesthesia, and critical care have demonstrated the successful application of cardiac P.O.C.U.S. in resident and attending physicians with limited prior exposure. This article review overviews the practical implementation of cardiac P.O.C.U.S. for hospitalists by discussing proper technique and assessment for common pathology seen in the medical ward setting. We describe how to assess for left ventricular (LV) systolic function, right ventricular (RV) systolic function, suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), post-myocardial infarction (MI) complications, suspected pulmonary embolus, and assessment of intravascular volume status. In each section, we overview the pertinent literature to show how cardiac P.O.C.U.S. has been used to directly impact patient care.
