Neonatal cardiac POCUS-a survey of academic neonatal centers in the United States.

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
objectiveTo investigate the current state of clinical practice and training regarding the use of cardiac point of care ultrasound (cPOCUS) in neonatal intensive care units. STUDY
designAn online survey was disseminated through the Association of Academic Directors of Neonatology to appraise clinical usage, infrastructure, and training for cPOCUS. A single response per center was obtained.
resultsOverall survey response rate was 51% (48/94). Of respondents [40/48 (83%)] who reported having a POCUS program, 19/40 (47%) reported performing cPOCUS. In 74% of centers, <10 cPOCUS studies are performed monthly. Only 16% (3/19) of centers had standardized imaging protocols. The most common indication for cPOCUS was central line evaluation. Only 9 (19%) programs reported cPOCUS training, of whom 4 had a formalized process of ongoing competency assessment.
conclusionAlthough use of cPOCUS is increasing, program infrastructure and governance, training, and evaluation vary markedly between institutions and are missing in many. There is an urgent need to develop consensus standards regarding clinical practice and training.
