Emergency Physician-Performed Point-of-Care Ultrasound of a Renal Mass.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Emergency physicians (EPs) frequently integrate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into the initial bedside evaluation of patients presenting to the emergency department with acute flank pain. A POCUS-first diagnostic approach can allow EPs to promptly assess for life-threatening pathologies of the aorta and gallbladder. POCUS is also a critical bedside tool to determine renal causes of acute flank pain, such as hydronephrosis in the setting of nephrolithiasis, subcapsular hematomas, renal abscesses, pyelonephritis, and renal masses. This report illustrates a case in which EP-performed POCUS led to the incidental diagnosis of a malignant renal mass in a patient presenting with flank pain. We review the specifics of the ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Bosniak classification system used by radiologists for risk stratification of cystic renal masses (CRMs).
