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

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a valuable bedside decision-making tool, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic, with applications in diagnosing pneumonia, managing fluid, and monitoring interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ultimately improving patient outcomes. Its repeatability, environmental safety, and reduced radiation exposure make it ideal for vulnerable populations and resource-limited settings. However, challenges such as inadequate documentation and a lack of standardized reporting formats limit its widespread adoption. The evolution of technology offers different possibilities, and improvements in software open up a range of possibilities, but this contrasts with the lack of postgraduate and undergraduate training and formal accreditation. This review addresses the impact of lung ultrasound through the course of air-liquid ratio impairment, crossing different clinical scenarios and exploring the challenges and opportunities for the implementation of lung ultrasound in the post-COVID era.
