Examining the Durability of an Inexpensive Intervention for Improving Point-of-care Ultrasound Documentation Rates.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a widely used diagnostic tool in emergency departments (EDs), and proper documentation is essential for both patient safety and reimbursement. POCUS is often underdocumented, and therefore, underbilled, by emergency medicine physicians. The absence of POCUS documentation can result in significant revenue loss for both providers and hospital administration. Methods: This study is a follow-up study to the manuscript published by Lahham Results: Documentation rates steadily declined from April 2019 to July 2020 following the intervention, with the highest success rate being immediately after the e-mail intervention. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that there is limited durability to a single e-mail reminder as an intervention to improve POCUS documentation in the ED and suggests that there is a need for repeated interventions to prevent deterioration of documentation rates.
