A latent class analysis of prolonged mechanical ventilation patients at a long-term acute care hospital: Subtype differences in clinical outcomes.
Article in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationalePatients on prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) at Long-Term Acute Care Hospital's (LTACHs) are clinically heterogeneous making it difficult to manage care and predict clinical outcomes.
objectivesIdentify and describe subgroups of patients on PMV at LTACHs and examine for group differences.
methodsLatent class analysis was completed on data obtained during medical record review at Midwestern LTACH. MAIN
resultsA three-class solution was identified. Class 1 contained young, obese patients with low clinical and co-morbid burden; Class 2 contained the oldest patients with low clinical burden but multiple co-morbid conditions; Class 3 contained patients with multiple clinical and co-morbid burdens. There were no differences in LTACH length of stay [F(2,246) = 2.243, p = 0.108] or number of ventilator days [F(2,246) = 0.641, p = 0.528]. Class 3 patients were less likely to wean from mechanical ventilation [χ
conclusionPatient subgroups can be described that predict clinical outcomes. Class 3 patients are at higher risk for poor clinical outcomes when compared to patients in Class 1 or Class 2.
