Application of a modified lung ultrasound score in assessing the severity of neonatal pneumonia: a multicenter prospective 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
Objective: To evaluate a modified twelve-zone lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring system for diagnosing neonatal pneumonia and assessing disease severity. Methods: In this multicenter prospective study (January 2023-02tober 2024), 160 neonates with pneumonia underwent both LUS and chest X-ray. Diagnostic performance (AUC, sensitivity, specificity) was compared, and correlations between LUS indicators (B-lines, consolidation area, pleural line abnormalities) and clinical outcomes (respiratory distress scores, PaO Results: LUS demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy to X-ray (AUC: 0.93 vs. 0.83; sensitivity 94.0 vs. 78.5%, specificity 88.5 vs. 78.5%, both Conclusions: The modified twelve-zone LUS system accurately diagnoses neonatal pneumonia, quantifies severity, and dynamically monitors treatment efficacy, offering a radiation-free alternative to X-ray for clinical practice.
