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

An accurate volume status assessment is critical to the diagnosis and management of congestive heart failure. Clinically, volume status is typically assessed using a combination of physical examination findings, laboratory values, imaging studies, and invasive procedures. However, these techniques may be unreliable, cost-prohibitive, or impractical. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has the potential to improve the accuracy of volume assessments with little additional cost to the patient. This review summarizes POCUS techniques that can be used to determine volume status in patients with congestive heart failure.
