Critical care ultrasound among Tunisian intensive care residents: A Cross-sectional Survey.
Article in La Tunisie medicale, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionCritical Care ultrasound (CCUS) is more and more used in Tunisian critical care units. An objective assessment of this training has not yet been performed.
aimTo assess the theoretical and practical knowledge about CCUS among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) residents.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted during the period from January to June 2021. Data were collected using a French language questionnaire distributed on the day of the selection of the residents' posts for the next training period (at the end of June 2021).
resultsOut of 75 residents, 37 accepted to answer to the survey (Participation rate =49 %). The majority were female (66.4%). The mean age was 29±12.36 years. Only 5.4% of participants (n=2) had previously received training concerning echocardiography and only 8.1% of the participants have received dedicated training for lung ultrasound (LU). Among the participants, 80.1% of residents (n=30) had never performed a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Competence in performing echocardiography was self-assessed quite good and bad by 5.4% and 43.2% of responders respectively. Most of the residents (86%) did not insert before ultrasound-guided central venous catheters. Views known by the participants using TTE were mainly parasternal long axis section (56.8%) and apical 4/5 chambers section (52.8%). All participants (100%) thought that teaching CCU is a necessary part of the training of intensivists.
conclusionOur study highlighted the lack of training of Tunisian ICU residents regarding CCUS learning. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate such learning and training into their training programs.
