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

Hemodynamic assessment is critical in emergency and critical care for preventing, diagnosing, and managing shock states that significantly affect patient outcomes. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an invaluable, non-invasive, real-time, and reproducible tool for bedside decision-making. Advancements such as Doppler imaging, advanced critical care ultrasonography, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) have expanded its utility, enabling rapid and repeatable evaluations, especially in complex mixed shock presentations. This review explores the role of POCUS in hemodynamic monitoring, emphasizing its ability to assess cardiac output, filling pressures, and vascular congestion, facilitating shock classification and guiding fluid management. We highlight an extensive array of POCUS techniques for evaluating right and left cardiac function and review existing literature on their advantages, limitations, and appropriate clinical applications. Beyond assessing volume status, this review discusses the role of POCUS in predicting fluid responsiveness and supporting more individualized, precise management strategies. Ultimately, while POCUS is a powerful tool for rapid, comprehensive hemodynamic assessment in acute settings, its limitations must be acknowledged and thoughtfully integrated into clinical decision-making.
