Lung ultrasound and supine chest X-ray use in modern adult intensive care: mapping 30 years of advancement (1993-2023).
Review in The ultrasound journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure, thoracic images are essential for evaluating the nature, extent and progression of the disease, and for clinical management decisions. For this purpose, computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard. However, transporting patients to the radiology suite and exposure to ionized radiation limit its use. Furthermore, a CT scan is a static diagnostic exam for the thorax, not allowing, for example, appreciation of "lung sliding". Its use is also unsuitable when it is necessary to adapt or decide to modify mechanical ventilation parameters at the bedside in real-time. Therefore, chest X-ray and lung ultrasound are today's contenders for shared second place on the podium to acquire a thoracic image, with their specific strengths and limitations. Finally, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) could soon have a role, however, its assessment is outside the scope of this review. Thus, we aim to carry out the following points: (1) analyze the advancement in knowledge of lung ultrasound use and the related main protocols adopted in intensive care units (ICUs) over the latest 30 years, reporting the principal publications along the way, (2) discuss how and when lung ultrasound should be used in a modern ICU and (3) illustrate the possible future development of LUS.
