Prehospital Use of Ultrasound by Paramedics: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Ultrasound technology is widely used in hospital settings throughout the United States to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. While the benefits of utilizing ultrasound in hospital settings are well understood, there are prehospital scenarios where the utility of ultrasound could be examined. Prehospital care often addresses acute and time-sensitive medical conditions, in which additional diagnostic information and early pathology detection can be crucial. Given the nature of these conditions, the use of ultrasound by paramedics in the prehospital setting is considered. This narrative review assesses the benefits and challenges of implementing widespread prehospital ultrasound use.
