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

As the interest in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for investigating pediatric abdominal emergencies has been growing, an increasing number of literatures about abdominal POCUS has been published. We describe a noteworthy instance of a systematic approach using abdominal POCUS for detecting unilateral renal agenesis (URA) in previously healthy children with suspected intussusception. A previously healthy three-year-old girl was brought to our emergency department (ED) due to abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. POCUS was performed to investigate the presence of intussusception. POCUS was able to rule out intussusception and detect URA. The investigation led the patient to a proper nephrology follow-up. When performing abdominal POCUS to evaluate gastrointestinal pathologies, it is important to pay attention to concomitant congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).
