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

purposeLow tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) reduces mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Understanding local barriers to LTVV use at a former ARDS Network hospital may provide new insight to improve LTVV implementation.

methodsA cohort of 214 randomly selected adults met the Berlin definition of ARDS at Harborview Medical Center between 2008 and 2012. The primary outcome was the receipt of LTVV (tidal volume of ≤6.5mL/kg predicted body weight) within 48h of ARDS onset. We constructed a multivariable logistic regression model to identify factors associated with the outcome.

resultsOnly 27% of patients received tidal volumes of ≤6.5mL/kg PBW within 48h of ARDS onset. Increasing plateau pressure (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.19; p-value<0.01) was positively associated with LTVV use while increasing PaO

conclusionsMost ARDS patients did not receive LTVV despite implementation of a protocol. ARDS was also recognized in a minority of patients, suggesting an opportunity for improvement of care.
