Trends in the incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure: the role of race.
Article in Critical care medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWe sought to examine trends in the race-specific incidence of acute respiratory failure in the United States.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingWe used the National Hospital Discharge Survey database (1992-2007), an annual survey of approximately 500 hospitals weighted to provide national hospitalization estimates. PATIENTS: All incident cases of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure hospitalized in the United States.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsWe identified noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure by the presence of International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, codes for respiratory failure or pulmonary edema (518.4, 518.5, 518.81, and 518.82) and mechanical ventilation (96.7×), excluding congestive heart failure. Incidence rates were calculated using yearly census estimates standardized to the age and sex distribution of the 2000 census population. Annual cases of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure increased from 86,755 in 1992 to 323,474 in 2007. Noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure among black Americans increased from 56.4 (95% confidence interval 39.7-73.1) to 143.8 (95% confidence interval 123.8-163.8) cases per 100,000 in 1992 and 2007, respectively. Among white Americans, the incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure increased from 31.2 (95% confidence interval 26.2-36.5) to 94.0 (95% confidence interval 86.7-101.2) cases per 100,000 in 1992 and 2007, respectively. The average annual incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure over the entire study period was 95.1 (95% confidence interval 93.9-96.4) cases per 100,000 for black Americans compared to 66.5 (95% confidence interval 65.8-67.2) cases per 100,000 for white Americans (rate ratio 1.43, 95% confidence interval 1.42-1.44). Overall in-hospital mortality was greater for other-race Americans, but only among patients with two or more organ failures (57% [95% confidence interval 56%-59%] for other race, 51% [95% confidence interval 50%-52%] for white, 50% [95% confidence interval 49%-51%] for black).
conclusionsThe incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure in the United States increased between 1992 and 2007. Black and other-race Americans are at greater risk of developing noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure compared to white Americans.
