Measurements Obtained From Esophageal Balloon Catheters Are Affected by the Esophageal Balloon Filling Volume in Children With ARDS.

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.

Abstract
backgroundEsophageal balloon inflation volume may affect the accuracy of transpulmo-nary pressure estimates in adults, but the effect is unknown in pediatrics. Using a combination bench and human study, we sought to determine a range of optimal filling volumes for esophageal balloon catheters and to derive a technique to inflate catheters to yield the most accurate estimates of pleural pressure.
methodsIn the laboratory study, we evaluated 4 pediatric and adult esophageal balloon catheters, a liquid-filled catheter, and a micro-tip catheter, both with and without a model esophagus. We compared the measured esophageal pressure for each type of catheter within a pressurized chamber. Esophageal balloon catheters were also tested by manipulating the esophageal balloon inflation volume, and we attempted to derive a filling-volume technique that would assure accuracy. We then tested the feasibility of this technique in 5 mechanically ventilated pediatric subjects with ARDS.
resultsIn the laboratory study, smaller inflation volumes underestimated the chamber pressure at higher chamber pressures, and larger inflation volumes overestimated the chamber pressure at lower chamber pressures. Using an optimal filling-volume technique resulted in a mean total error that ranged from -0.53 to -0.10 cm H
conclusionsManufacturer-recommended esophageal balloon inflation ranges do not assure accuracy. Individual titration of esophageal balloon volume may improve accuracy. Better esophageal catheters are needed to provide reliable esophageal pressure measurements in children.
