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

Background: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been established as a standard modality for assessing pulmonary congestion in heart failure. Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) represents a novel, rapid, non-invasive technology for quantifying pulmonary fluid content. However, the correlation between ReDS and LUS findings in heart failure patients remains undefined. Methods: In this prospective, single-center observational study from March 2024 to June 2024, patients with heart failure were consecutively enrolled and underwent ReDS and LUS examinations. We assessed the agreement between these two modalities in measurement of lung fluid. Results: Among 153 enrolled patients [median age 74 (60, 81) years; 92 male], median values were 32% (range 16%-59%) for ReDS measurements and 7 (range 0-32) for B-line count. 49 (32%) patients demonstrated significant pulmonary congestion on LUS. There was a significant positive correlation between ReDS values and sum of B-lines on LUS ( Conclusions: ReDS technology showed marked correlation with B-line counts and fair diagnostic accuracy in detecting pulmonary congestion on LUS, suggesting its potential utility for volume assessment in heart failure management. Trial registration: ChiCTR2400081719 in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.
