A 2015 Update on Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: New Insights on Its Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), an infection of the lower respiratory tract which occurs in association with mechanical ventilation, is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit (ICU). VAP causes significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients including increased duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospitalization. Current knowledge for its prevention, diagnosis and management is therefore important clinically and is the basis for this review. We discuss recent changes in VAP surveillance nomenclature incorporating ventilator-associated conditions and ventilator-associated events, terms recently proposed by the Centers for Disease Control. To the extent possible, we rely predominantly on data from randomized control trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses.
