1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMechanical ventilation (MV) is associated with diaphragm weakness, a phenomenon termed ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Weaning should balance diaphragmatic loading as well as prevention of overload after MV. The weaning methods pressure support ventilation (PSV) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) lead to gradual or intermittent reloading of a weak diaphragm, respectively. This study investigated which weaning method allows more efficient restoration of diaphragm homeostasis.

methodsRats (n = 8 per group) received 12 h of MV followed by either 12 h of pressure support ventilation (PSV) or intermittent spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) and were compared to rats euthanized after 12 h MV (CMV) and to acutely euthanized rats (CON). Force generation, activity of calpain-1 and caspase-3, oxidative stress, and markers of protein synthesis (phosphorylated AKT to total AKT) were measured in the diaphragm.

resultsReduction of diaphragmatic force caused by CMV compared to CON was worsened with PSV and SBT (both p < 0.05 vs. CON and CMV). Both PSV and SBT reversed oxidative stress and calpain-1 activation caused by CMV. Reduced pAKT/AKT was observed after CMV and both weaning procedures.

conclusionsMV resulted in a loss of diaphragmatic contractility, which was aggravated in SBT and PSV despite reversal of oxidative stress and proteolysis.
