Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Outpatient Management of Patients With Cirrhosis: Rapid and Accurate Decisions.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 integration of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into routine clinical practice has transformed traditional physical examination. Originally a radiologic tool reserved for imaging specialists, ultrasound is now a rapid, accessible modality that enhances bedside decision-making across multiple medical disciplines. In patients with cirrhosis, POCUS offers a unique opportunity to detect early signs of decompensation. These findings, often undetectable by conventional examination, can lead to timely interventions that significantly impact prognosis, management, and transplant candidacy. The role of bedside ultrasound in outpatient follow-up must be emphasized. Incorporating POCUS into routine evaluations can enhance clinical outcomes and support a paradigm shift toward more dynamic and responsive care for patients with cirrhosis.
