The Role of Point-of-care Ultrasound in Cardiac Arrest; A Narrative Review.
Review in Archives of academic emergency medicine, 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
Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate, necessitating prompt recognition and treatment of reversible causes to enhance patient survival. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a useful tool that contributes to optimizing resuscitative efforts. This imaging modality offers real-time visualization that assists in detecting reversible causes such as cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism, tension pneumothorax and hypovolemia. This review aims to explore the expanding role of ultrasound in the assessment and management of cardiac arrest, emphasizing its utility in identifying cardiac arrest, differentiating between true pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and pseudo-PEA, detecting the reversible causes, guiding clinical decision-making, and potentially predicting outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed database from inception to April 2025. Articles were selected based on their relevance to the role and applications of POCUS in cardiac arrest.
