Diagnostic accuracy of qualitative gastric ultrasound assessment for detecting high gastric fluid volume in children: a prospective randomised study.
Trial report in Anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06079268 (Assessment of the Diagnostic Performance of Qualitative Ultrasound Assessment of Gastric Contents for the Detection of Gastric Fluid Volume ≥ 1.25 ml/kg in Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe diagnostic accuracy of gastric ultrasound in children has not been assessed thoroughly. We aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity in children of a qualitative ultrasound examination of the gastric antrum in the supine 45° semi-recumbent position and a clinical algorithm for detecting a gastric fluid volume > 1.25 ml.kg
methodsWe conducted a prospective, observer-blinded, randomised trial in healthy children fasted according to current pre-operative guidelines. An initial ultrasound assessment of gastric contents ensured that the stomach was empty. Children then drank a specific volume of water (0; 0.6; 1; 1.25; 1.5; or 2 ml.kg
resultsNinety children, median (IQR [range]) age 7 (4.5-9 [1-10]) y, were studied. The sensitivity and specificity of the qualitative assessment for detecting gastric fluid volume > 1.25 ml.kg DISCUSSION: In order to achieve high sensitivity of gastric ultrasound for the diagnosis of fluid volume > 1.25 ml.kg
