The Role of Portal Vein Pulsatility and Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to Guide Decongestion and Hemodynamic Management in Acute Leptospirosis.
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
Leptospirosis is a relatively common tropical disease that can present with multiorgan failure. Given its wide range of phenotypes, leptospirosis patients presenting with cardiac and renal failure may benefit from diuresis and decongestion. Estimating left atrial pressure and its surrogates, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can help guide decongestive and hemodynamic therapy in these patients. A novel component of POCUS assessment, portal vein pulsatility, can provide information on end-organ congestion and aid in the titration of hemodynamic interventions.
