[Modern breath analysis].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2019. 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
backgroundAnalysis of exhaled air is a risk-free option for bedside diagnostics. Modern breath analysis can detect very low concentrations of volatile components. Current research focuses on drug monitoring and diagnosis of various diseases.
objectivesPresentation and discussion of current breath research relevant to intensive care medicine. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe literature in PubMed was searched using the following terms: "breath analysis", "volatile organic compounds", "critically ill" combined with "drug monitoring", "propofol", "heart failure", "pneumonia", "ARDS", "renal failure", "liver failure", "sepsis" or "hemorrhage".
resultsIntravenously administered propofol can now be measured reliably in exhaled air. Functional impairments of the heart, lungs, kidneys and liver show characteristic influences on the exhaled air, which could serve as a new diagnostic tool in the future. Animal experiments already show promising results to detect sepsis, hemorrhage and ventilator-induced lung injury.
conclusionsIn the future, modern breath analysis could enable non-invasive drug monitoring and diagnostics of medical conditions relevant to intensive care medicine.
