Point of care ultrasound for monitoring and resuscitation in patients with shock.
Review in Internal and emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), when used by experienced physicians, is a valuable diagnostic tool for the initial minutes of shock management and subsequent monitoring. It enables early diagnosis with high sensitivity (Sn) and specificity (Sp). Published protocols have advanced towards true multi-organ ultrasonographic exploration, with the RUSH (Rapid Ultrasound in Shock) protocol likely being the most well-known nowadays. Although there is no established order, cardiac evaluation, as well as vascular system assessments including intra- and extravascular volume, should be explored. Additionally, there are ultrasonographic evaluations particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring response/tolerance to volume. Both the identification of B lines and the increase in left ventricular pressures bring us closer to a diagnosis of fluid overload in these patients.
