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
backgroundUltrasonography (US) is a non-invasive and commonly available bedside diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of M-mode US on ventilator weaning outcomes in elderly patients.
methodsThis was a single center, prospective, observational study in patients aged 80 years or older who were in the medical intensive care unit, had undergone mechanical ventilation for >48 hours, and met the criteria for a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). For 30 minutes at the start of SBT, each hemi-diaphragmatic movement and the velocity of contraction were evaluated by M-mode US. The the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated to determine the ability for measured variables to predict successful ventilator weaning.
resultsForty patients were enrolled and assessed, grouped by those who had US-diagnosed diaphragm dysfunction (DD; 30/40; 75%) and those who did not (10/40; 25%). Patients with DD had a significantly longer total mechanical ventilation duration (536.4±377.05
conclusionsWhen assessed by M-mode US, DD appeared to be common in ventilated patients aged 80 years or older and was associated with a higher incidence of weaning failure. Larger right diaphragmatic movements or faster right diaphragmatic contraction velocity appeared to be good predictors of mechanical ventilation weaning success in elderly patients.
