Relationship of lung ultrasound score with oxygenation and pulmonary mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients: An observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and Aims: Less than three B-lines indicate normal lung aeration, whereas multiple B-lines indicate moderate-to-severe loss of aeration. This study aimed to find a correlation between lung ultrasound score (LUSS) with oxygenation [ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO Methods: In total, 101 lung ultrasounds were performed in 50 patients aged 18-60 years, requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours. Twelve region methods was used, the number of B-lines were counted in each intercostal space, and LUSS was calculated. In addition, ventilator and arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters were noted. The correlation between these variables with LUSS was evaluated using Spearman's coefficient. A receiver operating curve analysis was performed to find the cut-off value of LUSS to predict a PaO Results: LUSS showed a negative correlation with PaO Conclusion: LUSS is an easy and effective bedside tool for measuring lung parameters in mechanically ventilated patients. It correlates moderately with oxygenation, lung compliance, and resistance.
