Diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound in obstetric anesthesia and critical care: a scoping review protocol.
Article in Systematic reviews, 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
backgroundPoint-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has gained popularity as a bedside diagnostic imaging modality. In obstetrical populations, particularly in acute care settings, POCUS serves as a valuable complement to clinical assessment. Despite its many applications, only a few have been defined and validated in the obstetric population. This scoping review aims to delineate literature on the diagnostic applications of POCUS in obstetric anesthesia and critical care.
methodsThis review will adhere to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews, as updated by Arksey and O'Malley and in stages elaborated by Levac et al. Relevant literature will be identified using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), keyword, and proximity searches and combined using Boolean operators in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from January 1, 2000, to the present. Two independent reviewers will screen literature against predefined eligibility criteria in abstract and full-text forms. A third reviewer will be consulted if consensus cannot be reached. Data extraction will be systematic, focusing on pre-specified variables aligned with the review's aims. Descriptive statistical and thematic analysis will follow data extraction, with findings presented in graphical and tabular forms. The reporting will follow Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).
conclusionThis review will present the scope of the current literature on diagnostic POCUS in obstetric anesthesia and critical care, highlighting both strengths and gaps in existing knowledge. The insights gained will support future research, knowledge synthesis, and development of educational programs. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal publications, conferences, and social media platforms. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: Not applicable.
