Clinical implication of monitoring regional ventilation using electrical impedance tomography.
Review in Journal of intensive care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Mechanical ventilation can initiate ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) and contribute to the development of multiple organ dysfunction. Although a lung protective strategy limiting both tidal volume and plateau pressure reduces VALI, uneven intrapulmonary gas distribution is still capable of increasing regional stress and strain, especially in non-homogeneous lungs, such as during acute respiratory distress syndrome. Real-time monitoring of regional ventilation may prevent inhomogeneous ventilation, leading to a reduction in VALI. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a technique performed at the patient's bedside. It is noninvasive and radiation-free and provides dynamic tidal images of gas distribution. Studies have reported that EIT provides useful information both in animal and clinical studies during mechanical ventilation. EIT has been shown to be useful during lung recruitment, titration of positive end-expiratory pressure, lung volume estimation, and evaluation of homogeneity of gas distribution in a single EIT measure or in combination with multiple EIT measures. EIT-guided mechanical ventilation preserved the alveolar architecture and maintained oxygenation and lung mechanics better than low-tidal volume ventilation in animal models. However, careful assessment is required for data analysis owing to the limited understanding of the results of EIT interpretation. Previous studies indicate monitoring regional ventilation by EIT is feasible in the intensive care setting and has potential to lead to lung protective ventilation. Further clinical studies are warranted to evaluate whether monitoring of regional ventilation using EIT can shorten the duration of ventilation or improve mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
