Review in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Brain ultrasonography has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and monitoring tool in intensive care, complementing other point-of-care techniques. Transcranial colour-coded duplex (TCCD) offers a rapid, non-invasive, repeatable, and cost-effective bedside me-thod that has gained significant interest among intensivists. TCCD enables visualisation of the circle of Willis and adjacent cerebral arteries, supporting its use in various critical scenarios, including vasospasm following subarachnoid haemorrhage, elevated intracranial pressure, hydrocephalus, acute ischaemic stroke, cerebral circulatory arrest, and certain intracranial haematomas. This manuscript aims to equip intensivists with foundational knowledge to integrate TCCD effectively into their diagnostic arsenal, covering essential Doppler physics, transcranial insonation techniques, and clinical applications of TCCD within intensive care settings.
