A pictorial essay on the potential use of the transhepatic subcostal ultrasound view for the evaluation of lower lung lobe pathology.

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
Lung ultrasound has become indispensable in managing critically ill patients, offering bedside evaluation capabilities for intensive care unit physicians without ionizing radiation. This noninvasive technique demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing various lung pathologies, including pleural effusion and consolidation syndrome. A novel trans-hepatic subcostal approach enhances visualization of the lower right lung lobe, revealing the diaphragm dome and inferior lobe through oblique coronal sections. Challenges include inadequate liver visibility hindering right lung views and difficulties in left lung assessment due to gastric interference. Despite limitations, this method proves invaluable when conventional imaging is impractical, showcasing its utility in critical care settings.
