Comparing the Diagnostic Accuracy of Bedside Lung Ultrasonography and High-Resolution Computed Tomography of the Thorax in Acute Chest Trauma Patients: A Study Protocol.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Emergency rooms frequently see cases of chest trauma, which require prompt and precise assessment to determine the best course of action. Traditional diagnostic techniques like CT scans and chest X-rays have restrictions related to radiation exposure, cost, and mobility. Due to its mobility, radiation-free nature, and real-time imaging capabilities, bedside lung ultrasonography (LUS) has become a potential modality for assessing chest injuries. The main goal is to evaluate the accuracy of bedside LUS and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) thorax in patients with acute chest trauma. Materials and methods A bedside LUS will be performed on 45 adult patients over the age of 18 who present to the emergency department with severe chest trauma. An HRCT thorax will be done at the radiodiagnosis division. To evaluate LUS's diagnostic accuracy in identifying different traumatic conditions such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pulmonary contusion, its results will be compared with those of HRCT thorax. Results After the study is completed in 2025, conclusions will be made. Conclusions The accuracy of bedside LUS in diagnosing traumatic lung injury will be compared to HRCT thorax findings, and conclusions will be drawn.
