Modified lung ultrasound score for improved monitoring of pARDS on ECMO, a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. 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
backgroundLung ultrasound scoring is a validated tool for assessing lung pathology. However, existing scoring systems typically overlook the size of consolidations, limiting their accuracy in certain clinical scenarios. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the first application of adding the maximum consolidation depth in centimeters (cm) to the conventional score. This modification (LUS+) was used in an eight-month-old patient with severe respiratory failure undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a similar correlation in LUS+ compared to conventional lung ultrasound score. Importantly, LUS + showed improvement following cessation of lung rest on day 5, preceding the changes observed in conventional lung ultrasound scores and tidal volume measurements on day 9.
conclusionsThe integration of consolidation depth, quantified in centimeters, represents a valuable refinement of the conventional lung ultrasound score, enhancing its utility in monitoring pediatric acute respiratory distress patients undergoing ECLS.
