Seeing through the myths: Practical aspects of diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound in nephrology.
Review in World journal of nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) is emerging as an invaluable tool for guiding patient care at the bedside, providing real-time diagnostic information to clinicians. Today, POCUS is recognized as the fifth pillar of bedside clinical examination, alongside inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. In spite of growing interest, the adoption of diagnostic POCUS in nephrology remains limited, and comprehensive training beyond kidney ultrasound is offered in only a few fellowship programs. Moreover, several misconceptions and barriers surround the integration of POCUS into day-to-day nephrology practice. These include myths about its scope, utility, impact on patient outcomes and legal implications. In this minireview, we address some of these issues to encourage wider and proper utilization of POCUS.
