[Prehospital point-of-care ultrasound (pPOCUS): "See, decide, act" : Evidence, training concepts, and the role of pPOCUS in the acute assessment of traumatic and nontraumatic emergencies].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 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
backgroundPrehospital point-of-care ultrasound (pPOCUS) enables focused sonography for immediate management-relevant clinical questions.
objectiveTo summarize the role of pPOCUS in traumatic and nontraumatic emergencies with regard to evidence, indications, training, and limitations.
resultspPOCUS may provide clinically relevant adjunctive information in trauma, acute dyspnea, chest pain, undifferentiated shock, resuscitation, and selected procedural settings. Current evidence supports its feasibility and frequent impact on management decisions, whereas robust data on patient-centered outcomes remain limited.
conclusionThe clinical benefit of pPOCUS depends on appropriate indications, integration into team workflows, structured training, documentation, and quality assurance. pPOCUS should be regarded as focused decision support rather than as an exclusionary diagnostic modality.
