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

objectiveHigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury in experimental neonatal respiratory distress. However, these data permit no conclusions for large animals or adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), because in neonates higher frequencies and lower amplitudes can be used, resulting in lower tidal volumes (VT) and airway pressures. The aim of this study was to compare gas exchange, lung histopathology and inflammatory cytokine expression during lung-protective pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and HFOV in a long-term large-animal model of ARDS.

designProspective, randomized, controlled pilot study.

settingUniversity animal laboratory. SUBJECTS: Sixteen female pigs (55.3 +/- 3.9 kg).

interventionsAfter induction of ARDS by repeated lavage, the animals were randomly assigned to PCV (VT = 6 ml/kg) and HFOV (6 Hz). After lung injury, a standardised lung recruitment was performed in both groups, and ventilation was continued for 24 h. MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsAfter lung recruitment sustained improvements in the oxygenation index were observed in both groups. The mean airway pressure (mPaw) was significantly lower in the HFOV group during the experiment (p < 0.01). Histologically, lung inflammation was significantly ameliorated in the HFOV group (p < 0.05). The messenger RNA expression of IL-1-beta in lung tissue was significantly lower in the HFOV-treated animals (p < 0.01).

conclusionsThese data suggest that HFOV compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation can reduce lung inflammation in a large-animal 24-h model of ARDS. Furthermore, it was shown that lung recruitment leads to sustained improvements in gas exchange with a significantly lower mPaw when HFOV is used.
