Respiratory mechanics during general anaesthesia.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Intraoperative mechanical ventilation is mandatory during many surgical procedures. Knowledge in this field has been widely derived from the experience in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in the intensive care unit. However, also in surgical patients without lung injury, mechanical ventilation settings affect the clinical outcome, and in particular the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). A deep understanding of respiratory physiology is mandatory for the clinician, in order to tailor ventilation settings based on the specific characteristics of each patient. In this paper we will discuss the basis of lung physiology applied to the mechanical ventilation in the operating room. The role of compliance, tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), plateau pressure, driving pressure, stress index, mechanical power and other ventilator-derived parameters will be discussed. The above-mentioned physiological parameters are easy to measure and can guide the clinician to assess and titrate mechanical ventilation parameters, but the clinical impact of guiding mechanical ventilation based on these parameters has yet to be determined.
