STRESS ULCER PROPHYLAXIS AS A RISK FACTOR FOR TRACHEAL COLONIZATION AND HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN INTENSIVE CARE PATIENTS: IMPACT ON LATENCY TIME FOR PNEUMONIA.

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
Stress ulcer prophylaxis is associated with bacterial colonization of respiratory tract. The aims of our study were to determine risk factors for trachea colonization (TC), colonization of pharynx (CP) or stomach (CD) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and divide the factors into those with high risk and low risk. The study population (ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients eligible to receive stress ulcer prophylaxis) was randomized to receive one of three different treatment protocols: ranitidine, sucralfate, and no stress ulcer prophylaxis (control group). Clinical data relative to pre-specified risk factors for TC or HAP were recorded, as follows: APACHE II score (second risk factor), duration of intubation or tracheotomy (third risk factor), duration of mechanical ventilation (fourth risk factor) and duration of hospitalization in the ICU (fifth risk factor). Gastric pH was recorded and microbiological data regarding stomach, pharynx and trachea were collected on the 1
