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
Objective: Investigate the correlation between right ventricular function ultrasound indicators and the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) grading system in patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and develop a right ventricular function assessment model using VExUS grading and the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm. Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data from patients in the Department of Critical Care at Harrison International Peace Hospital who underwent tracheal intubation within 24-48 h from October 2023 to December 2024. Collected information comprised general clinical data, hematological indices, hemodynamic parameters, severity scores, right ventricular function ultrasound indicators, the maximum diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVCdmax), and Doppler spectra from the hepatic, portal and intrarenal veins. Patients were divided into two groups (VExUS 0 and VExUS ≥1) based on VExUS grading system to reflect the presence or absence of venous congestion. Baseline data were compared between groups, and Spearman's correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between VExUS grading and right ventricular function ultrasound indicators. Subsequently, a right ventricular function assessment model was constructed using the CART algorithm. Results: A total of 80 patients were enrolled, with 26 in the VExUS 0 group and 54 in the VExUS ≥1 group. In the VExUS ≥1 group, the proportion of male patients, levels of NT-proBNP, cTnI, central venous pressure, cumulative fluid balance, and the usage rate of diuretics were significantly higher than in the VExUS 0 group ( Conclusion: In patients undergoing IMV, IVCdmax, TAPSE, and the tricuspid E-wave peak show strong correlations with VExUS grading. A right ventricular function assessment model based on VExUS grading and the CART algorithm can effectively evaluate right ventricular performance and may serve as a useful tool in identifying venous congestion.
