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

purpose of reviewPET has recently gained traction among several groups of investigators as an imaging tool to study lung pathophysiology in vivo noninvasively on a regional basis. This review aims to present the major findings of PET studies on acute lung injury (ALI) and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) with a perspective relevant to the physiologist-intensivist. RECENT

findingsUsing various tracers, PET has been used to investigate the relationship between the distributions of pulmonary perfusion, ventilation and aeration, and the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure, recruitment maneuvers, prone positioning, and endotoxin on these distributions in ALI. More recently, PET with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose has been used to measure regional neutrophil metabolic activation in ALI and VILI. Because gas exchange impairment and inflammation are two hallmarks of ALI and VILI, these studies have provided significant insights into the pathophysiology of these conditions. SUMMARY: PET is a versatile imaging tool for physiologic investigation. By imaging the regional effects of interventions commonly performed in critically ill patients with ALI, PET has improved our understanding of the mechanism by which such interventions can exert their positive or negative effects as well as of the pathophysiology of ALI and VILI.
