Role of ultrasound in the evaluation of patients with acute pelvic pain.
Review in Internal and emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Acute pelvic pain is a common clinical condition that can indicate a range of gynecological, gastrointestinal, urinary, and vascular pathologies. Early diagnosis is essential to manage these patients, particularly in emergency settings. Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) can be used as a first-line diagnostic tool for acute pelvic pain, due to its diagnostic capacity in identifying key pathologies. PoCUS enables quick, real-time assessment of conditions such as gastrointestinal pathologies (e.g., appendicitis and diverticulitis) and gynecological issues (e.g., hemorrhagic ovarian cysts and torsions) without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. This narrative review aims to evaluate the specific ultrasound findings for each condition, thus underscoring PoCUS diagnostic accuracy and utility. PoCUS is a valuable tool in the clinical management of acute pelvic pain. PoCUS optimizes patient outcomes and streamlines therapeutic pathways in both emergency and routine clinical settings by facilitating timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
