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

The indication for the use of the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) in high-risk patients is still a matter of discussion. Observational studies suggested that the use of the PAC did not result in decreased mortality but may even lead to increased mortality and morbidity. Therefore, a number of randomized controlled trials have been performed throughout recent years in patients suffering from sepsis/ARDS, congestive heart failure, multi-organ failure and those undergoing high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The majority of recent randomized studies failed to demonstrate any benefit of the PAC with respect to mortality and morbidity. However, the use of the PAC was also regularly not associated with an increase in morbidity and/or mortality. This review gives an overview of measurement parameters obtained by the current generation of PACs, alternatives to the PAC and recent studies on the use of the PAC in clinical practice.
