The Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in Anesthesiology: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an essential tool in modern anesthesiology, offering real-time imaging that aids in diagnosis, treatment, and procedural guidance. Its applications have expanded significantly, from routine assessments to complex perioperative management, enhancing patient care across various domains. This study aimed to review and summarize the current literature on the applications of POCUS in anesthesiology, focusing on its utility in airway management, cardiac assessment, lung ultrasound (LUS), and abdominopelvic evaluations. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and strategies for overcoming barriers to its widespread adoption. A narrative literature review was conducted, encompassing studies on using POCUS in anesthesiology. Key databases were searched for relevant articles ("Point-of-care ultrasound," "Focused cardiac ultrasound," "Lung ultrasound
