Preoperative cardiac POCUS in high-risk non-cardiac surgery: A prospective study on anesthetic planning and outcomes.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The role of preoperative cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in modifying anesthetic management and influencing perioperative outcomes in high-risk non-cardiac surgery patients is of interest. A total of 120 adults with Revised Cardiac Risk Index ≥2 or significant cardiac comorbidity underwent standardized preoperative focused transthoracic echocardiography. Clinically significant previously undiagnosed cardiac findings were detected in 31.7% of patients, leading to anesthesia plan modifications in 24.2%, including escalation to invasive monitoring, anesthesia technique changes and preoperative cardiology consultation. Patients whose plans were modified experienced fewer intraoperative hypotensive episodes and reduced unplanned intensive care admissions compared with those without plan changes. Thus, we show the integration of preoperative cardiac POCUS into perioperative assessment pathways for high-risk surgical patients to optimize management and improve hemodynamic stability.
