Point-of-Care Ultrasound Evaluation of Diaphragm as a Predictor of Extubation Success in Mechanically Ventilated, Malnourished, End-Stage Liver Disease Pretransplant Candidates-Observational Cohort Study.

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
Background: Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragmatic anatomy and function has recently gained traction as a simple and useful tool to assess the extubation readiness in mechanically ventilated patients, nevertheless, how applicable this approach is in the population of chronically debilitated patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickening fraction (ΔTDI%) as a predictor of extubation success in the population of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) malnourished patients on MV. Design: Prospective, single-center, observational cohort study. Methods: We used point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate ΔTDI% and diaphragm thickness during expiration ( Results: Of 70 enrolled patients, 82.4% ( Conclusion: Point-of-care ultrasonographic assessment of the diaphragm offers insight into the function of respiratory muscles and the limited ability to predict extubation success. Further research is necessary to better understand its potential use in MV liberation in patients with ESLD and malnutrition.
