Apnea testing for brain death in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome: a possible solution.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionA 42-year-old man with a subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated by anoxic brain injury, respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) presented a clinical conundrum for safe apnea testing in brain death determination due to profound hypoxemia.
methodsCase report.
resultsDuring brain death examination, despite meeting criteria for severe ARDS, apnea testing was successfully completed with the use of a pretest recruitment maneuver and 20 cm H(2)O CPAP valve.
conclusionA recruitment maneuver and CPAP valve may be used in severe ARDS for safe apnea testing in brain death determination.
