Lung Point in a Case of Bronchoscopy Lung Volume Reduction: Consider Its Mimics Before Inserting the Tube.
Article in POCUS journal, 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
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is used to evaluate many clinical scenarios. Chest POCUS has been integrated as a part of a clinical protocol to assess patients with lung pathology 1. The ability to detect pneumothorax using chest POCUS has been shown to be superior to chest radiography, with specificity reported to be as high as 100% when a lung point sign is identified. In addition to improved diagnostic accuracy, chest POCUS has the added benefits of ease of access and absence of ionizing radiation. Here we describe a case where a patient with a high pre-test probability for pneumothorax had a detected lung point sign, but pneumothorax was ruled out via Computed Tomography (CT). This case highlights the importance of considering the mimics of the lung point sign. This case also shows a unique and interesting finding related to pleural movement restriction post-Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR).
