Beyond E-FAST: Using POCUS to Suggest the Bullet's Injury Path of a Thoracoabdominal Gunshot - Case Report.

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
Transmediastinal traumatic injuries challenge trauma surgeons due to their potential to involve thoracic and abdominal cavities, requiring rapid assessment for timely interventions. This case report describes a 27-year-old male with a thoracoabdominal gunshot wound, emphasizing the potential role of ultrasound in emergency settings. The patient presented with diminished left-sided breath sounds and stable hemodynamics. Physical examination revealed an entry wound at the sixth intercostal space. With portable X-ray unavailable, ultrasound detected left hemothorax, pneumothorax, and pneumopericardium. The sonographic findings suggested the bullet's trajectory and helped further management. CT confirmed findings, with esophagoscopy and thoracoscopy identifying minor esophageal and pericardial injuries. Discharged three days post-injury, the patient highlights ultrasound's utility in resource-limited settings despite lower sensitivity compared to CT.
