The usability of bedside ultrasound in nursing practice for critically ill patients.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo describe the usability of bedside ultrasound (POCUS) as perceived by nurses working in emergency, urgent care, and intensive care units.
methodsWe conducted an exploratory study using a mixed-methods approach with nurses in the critical care sectors of a university hospital in Paraná, Brazil. Data collection involved mixed questionnaires and semi structured interviews. We analyzed the data through descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis.
resultsNurses utilized POCUS for procedures such as venous and arterial punctures, bladder assessments and procedures, cardiovascular assessments, and gastrointestinal evaluations and procedures. Perceptions of usability were organized into thematic categories: Qualification for POCUS certification, Impact of the tool on nursing practice, and Use of the equipment in daily activities.
conclusionsPOCUS was regarded as a significant tool for nursing care, enhancing interventions, clinical decision-making, and professional autonomy.
