1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to assess the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing shock types among intensive care patients. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register, and Google Scholar was conducted for controlled trials published up to June 2023. Two intensivists independently screened articles for full-text reviews and abstracts, evaluating study quality using the QUADAS-2 tool. Prospective studies assessing ultrasound for diagnosing shock types in critically ill patients with undifferentiated shock were included. Results: Among 7287 articles identified, four met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Pooled positive likelihood ratios were 8.8 (95% CI: 2.4-32.37) for distributive shock and 137.56 (95% CI: 27.76-681.64) for obstructive shock. Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.99 for cardiogenic and obstructive shock, 0.5 for hypovolemic and mixed shock, and 0.76 for distributive shock. Pooled negative likelihood ratios ranged from 0.05 (95% CI: 0.010 to 0.24) for cardiogenic shock to 0.22 (95% CI: 0.127-0.38) for mixed-etiology shock. Conclusion: Ultrasound demonstrates high accuracy in diagnosing obstructive and cardiogenic shock among intensive care patients with undifferentiated shock. However, its utility for other shock types appears limited. How to cite this article: Karigowda L, Gupta B, Elkady H, Deshpande K.
