Abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac point-of-care ultrasound skills following an in-person hands-on training course for early-track emergency clinicians.

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
Introduction: This study was designed to assess baseline compared to three months procedural skills performing abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) after POCUS training. Methods: A POCUS training was designed as a 3-hour online course, followed by a 2-day in-person course consisting of 3.5 hours of case-based lectures and 4 hours of hands-on laboratory on anesthetized dogs each day. In-person procedural assessment was performed using an anesthetized dog and consisted of identifying 22 anatomical structures in 6 minutes. The assessment was performed pre-course and repeated three months post-course in an identical environment. Results: Fifty-six veterinarians from the Veterinary Emergency Group New ER Doctor program were enrolled. Participants identified an overall 7.8 ± 2.6 structures in the pre-course assessment, compared to 13.8 ± 5.9 in the post-course assessment ( Discussion: The Veterinary Emergency Group New ER Doctor POCUS course improved participants' ability to correctly identify anatomical structures on POCUS when assessed three months after the course.
