Expanding Horizons of Pediatric POCUS: Applications in the Older Child.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 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
Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) is being increasingly employed in the emergency room as well as in intensive care units (ICUs) to guide rapid management of sick children while avoiding shifting them away from their primary treating physician. The examination must be targeted, with a checklist approach based on clinical signs, to enable both speed and accuracy. This review brings forth some less explored applications of POCUS, in order to expand its scope. The first section deals with thoracic applications, including detailed evaluation of pleural collections and diaphragmatic motility. The second section deals with abdominal applications, including the common causes of acute abdomen in children. The third section deals with evaluation of vessels in shock. Finally, the last section touches upon bedside ultrasonography guided procedures in children. Defined US criteria available in literature for abdominal pathology as well as established indices which can be calculated have been also detailed in this review.
