1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesto describe the experience of using point-of-care ultrasound to monitor enteral nutrition tolerance in a critically ill patient.

methodsthis is a nursing experience report on the use of bedside ultrasound to manage enteral feeding tolerance in an intensive care unit.

resultsafter unsuccessful attempts to optimize enteral nutrition, ultrasound-based monitoring of gastric volume revealed a significant delay in gastric emptying when gastric volume was compared to the administered feeding rate. This enabled early detection of gastroparesis and facilitated timely clinical decision-making for managing gastric intolerance. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: this report highlights point-of-care ultrasound as a promising tool for monitoring enteral nutrition tolerance in critically ill patients and brings attention to the relevance of analyzing gastric volume in relation to the feeding rate.
