1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In recent years there has been substantial progress in the imaging evaluation of patients with lung disease requiring mechanical ventilatory assistance. This has been demonstrated by the inclusion of pulmonary ultrasound, positron emission tomography, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The EIT uses electric current to evaluate the distribution of alternating current conductivity within the thoracic cavity. The advantage of the latter is that it is non-invasive, bedside radiation-free functional imaging modality for continuous monitoring of lung ventilation and perfusion. EIT can detect recruitment or derecruitment, overdistension, variation of poorly ventilated lung units (silent spaces), and pendelluft phenomenon in spontaneously breathing patients. In addition, the regional expiratory time constants have been recently explored.
