Influence of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure level on pulmonary complications in emergency major trauma surgery.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPulmonary complications have a major impact on the morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients with multiple trauma. Intraoperative protective ventilation with low tidal volume may prevent lung injury and infection, whereas the role of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different intraoperative PEEP levels on incidence of pulmonary complications after emergency trauma surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively analysed data of multiple trauma patients who underwent emergency surgery within 24 h after injury in our level I trauma centre (
resultsBesides differences in body mass index and preoperative oxygenation, there were no differences in patients' baseline data. There was a significant difference between incidence of pneumonia within 7 days after trauma surgery, with an incidence 26.7% in the low PEEP group and 7.3% in the high PEEP group (
conclusionsHigher PEEP levels were associated with perioperative improvement of oxygenation and a lower incidence of pneumonia, without impairment of haemodynamics. Additional studies should be initiated to confirm these observations.
