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

We would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. da Hora Passos et al. for their interest in our recently published review and meta-analysis in Critical Care. In this response, we will elaborate on the points raised by the authors. We agree with the authors that LUS, like any other diagnostic technique, is valuable and safe only when utilized by trained operators. The authors expressed uncertainty regarding the sensitivity of LUS in detecting mild ARDS or ARDS at an early stage. This variance in sensitivity is more likely due to diversity in diagnostic thresholds. We advocate for global collaboration among LUS experts to align LUS methodologies and strengthen the evidence supporting LUS in the diagnosis of ARDS and its morphological subphenotypes.
