[Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) : A risk already at the time of anesthetic induction].
Synthesis in Der Anaesthesist, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common and preventable infections in mechanically ventilated patients. It is associated with a high mortality rate. To prevent VAP, various strategies address this issue using "VAP-bundles", which are implemented in many intensive care units. The risk of acquiring VAP starts with the induction of anesthesia, strictly speaking at the time of intubation. This article considers measures to prevent VAP during general anesthesia in adult patients (>18 years). Procedures beyond standard hygienic precautions for VAP prevention are reviewed.
methodsA literature search in different databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Ovid und CINAHL) over the last five years.
resultsBeyond standard hygienic precautions, microaspiration should be avoided to prevent VAP. During mechanical ventilation at least 5 cm H
