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

objectiveTo assess diagnostic point of care ultrasound (POCUS) use, presence of programmatic infrastructural elements, and barriers to implementation across neonatal perinatal medicine (NPM) programs in the United States. STUDY

designCross-sectional study. An online survey was distributed to leaders in education or POCUS at ACGME-accredited NPM fellowship programs. National trends were outlined using descriptive statistics and compared by program size.

result79 of 99 (80%) NPM programs responded. Diagnostic POCUS was available at 71% (n = 56) of sites that responded. Key infrastructural elements were present at <45% of sites, with fellow training being the exception (71%). Many barriers to diagnostic POCUS program implementation were identified and they differed by program size.

conclusionDiagnostic POCUS is being increasingly adopted despite underdeveloped programmatic infrastructure. Identified barriers suggest a need for collaborative efforts to support the necessary infrastructural elements, and differences by program size suggest a need for tailored approaches for successful integration.
