Impact of microcirculatory video quality on the evaluation of sublingual microcirculation in critically ill patients.
Article in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2017. 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
We aimed to assess the impact of image quality on microcirculatory evaluation with sidestream dark-field (SDF) videomicroscopy in critically ill patients and explore factors associated with low video quality. This was a retrospective analysis of a single-centre prospective observational study. Videos of the sublingual microcirculation were recorded using SDF videomicroscopy in 100 adult patients within 12 h from admittance to the intensive care unit and every 24 h until discharge/death. Parameters of vessel density and perfusion were calculated offline for small vessels. For all videos, a quality score (-12 = unacceptable, 1 = suboptimal, 2 = optimal) was assigned for brightness, focus, content, stability, pressure and duration. Videos with a total score ≤8 were deemed as unacceptable. A total of 2455 videos (853 triplets) was analysed. Quality was acceptable in 56 % of videos. Lower quality was associated with worse microvascular density and perfusion. Unreliable triplets (≥1 unacceptable or missing video, 65 % of total) showed lower vessel density, worse perfusion and higher flow heterogeneity as compared to reliable triplets (p < 0.001). Quality was higher among triplets collected by an extensively-experienced investigator or in patients receiving sedation or mechanical ventilation. Perfused vessel density was higher in patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤8 (18.9 ± 4.5 vs. 17.0 ± 3.9 mm/mm
