Assessment of bladder volume by nurses using point-of-care ultrasound: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectivesTo identify the main reasons for performing point-of-care bladder ultrasonography (POCUS) by nurses and to compare the volume found on POCUS with the volume of urine drained by a relief bladder catheter (RBC) or delay bladder catheter (DBC).
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted in intensive care, semi-intensive care, and medical-surgical units with patients over 18 years of age who had no spontaneous urination for more than six hours or for more than four hours after removal of the DBC.
resultsA total of 211 patients were included, with the main reasons for performing POCUS being absence of urination after surgical procedures (35.0%), removal of the DBC (35.1%), decreased level of consciousness (DLC) (13.7%), and DBC obstruction (0.9%). The correlation between POCUS volume and urine volume drained was considered very strong.
conclusionSituations such as postoperative, removal of DBC, DLC, and DBC obstruction lead to the performance of POCUS by nurses, with a very strong correlation between the volumes found in POCUS and those drained by RBC or DBC.
