Strategies to combat chronic critical illness.
Review in Current opinion in critical care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purpose of reviewThe population of chronically critically ill patients is growing as advances in intensive care management improve survival from the acute phase of critical illness. These patients are characterized by complex medical needs and heavy resource utilization. This article reviews evidence supporting a comprehensive approach to the prevention and management of chronic critical illness (CCI). RECENT
findingsThe most efficient approach to weaning patients with CCI at long-term acute care hospitals is daily unassisted breathing trials through a tracheostomy collar. However, a substantial number of patients transferred to long-term acute care hospitals pass their spontaneous weaning trials. Transfer to long-term acute care hospitals is associated with higher acute care costs and payments, but lower costs through the entire episode of illness. Universal decontamination is more effective than targeted decontamination or screening and isolation for preventing nosocomial bloodstream infections. SUMMARY: Combating CCI begins with prevention in the acute phase of illness. Management strategies include a spectrum of ventilatory, nutritional, and rehabilitation support. Further patient-centered outcome-based research in this specific population is needed to continue to help guide optimal care.
