How POCUS uncovered Alagille syndrome in a non-mobile infant with bruising: a case report.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2026. 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
A bruise or haematoma in a non-mobile infant is a red flag prompting concern for non-accidental injury. Bruising does not always signify trauma however and may occur spontaneously due to an underlying medical cause. This case report describes a 3-month-old infant presenting with unexplained faint bruising to the axilla and an associated lump. Point of care ultrasound revealed a chest wall haematoma without any other evidence of trauma prompting blood tests, which demonstrated severely deranged coagulation and conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. The child was subsequently diagnosed with Alagille Syndrome. Point of care ultrasound is a useful clinical adjunct for providing greater detail to the examination of unusual lumps or swellings which in this case prompted further investigations leading to a rare diagnosis.
