Hocus pocus: advanced point-of-care ultrasound from the trauma bay to the surgical ICU.
Review in Trauma surgery & acute care open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The management of the critically injured patient is reliant on a combination of clinical evaluation skills, knowledge of the disease process, and procedural capability. This is supplemented by diagnostic tools. Ultrasound use has rapidly evolved as one such diagnostic tool. The focused assessment by sonography in trauma (FAST) was the index ultrasound protocol for trauma but has since expanded to additional protocols to evaluate shock physiology and independent organ system function and to facilitate procedure techniques. This article reviews the currently applicable techniques relevant to the trauma patient, including regional protocols such as the FAST, extended FAST, and rapid ultrasound for shock and hypotension examinations; organ-system scans, including cardiac, lung, inferior vena cava, and transcranial ultrasound; and the role of ultrasound for various trauma-care procedures such as vascular access and nerve blocks.
