Lung Ultrasound in Neonates: A Narrative Review Along With Diagnostic Insights and Early Postnatal Applications.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07216053 (Predictive Value of Lung Ultrasound for Respiratory Decompensation in Late Preterm Neonates), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) has become a useful, bedside, noninvasive imaging technique in diagnosing pulmonary diseases, particularly in Neonatology, due to its non-invasive nature, lack of ionizing radiation, and high-quality imaging. This study explores current methodologies, applications, and benefits of thoracic US in neonatal care, highlighting its application in assessing pleural morphology, pulmonary consolidations, and diaphragmatic function. Key ultrasound findings, such as A-lines, B-lines, and the pleural sliding sign, are instrumental in diagnosing various lung conditions, including pneumothorax and respiratory distress syndrome. The present review emphasizes the growing importance of lung ultrasound (LUS) in predicting neonatal intensive care needs, reducing reliance on X-rays, and improving the early diagnosis of conditions like transient tachypnea of the newborn. The use of ultrasound scoring systems enhances diagnostic accuracy, making thoracic ultrasound a valuable addition to neonatal care protocols for real-time, radiation-free assessment from birth.
