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

Point-of-care ultrasound is a portable, low-cost imaging technology focused on answering specific clinical questions in real time. Artificial intelligence amplifies its capabilities by aiding clinicians in the acquisition and interpretation of the images; however, there are growing concerns on its effectiveness and trustworthiness. Here, we address key issues such as population bias, explainability and training of artificial intelligence in this field and propose approaches to ensure clinical effectiveness.
