Predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients admitted to intensive care units: A systematic review.
Review in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
objectiveAlthough intensive care medicine has evidenced a significant growth in recent decades, the number of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) still represents a considerable burden on health-care expenditure. The prediction of the need for PMV seems to provide a plausible cost-effective intervention. The objective of this study is to systematically review the predictors of the need for PMV of adult patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) due to medical and surgical needs.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search on three online databases (PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE) till February 20, 2019. The search process employed several combinations of specific keywords and Boolean operators.
resultsA total of 15 articles were included in the study. Based on pooling the outcomes of odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as reported from logistic regression analyses, the pooled PMV incidence in 8220 patients (69.59% males) was 17.67 cases per 100 ICU admissions (95% CI 13.69-21.65). We could not conduct a meta-analysis of ORs and 95% CIs due to the significant heterogeneity observed between the included studies (
conclusionWithin the study limitations, several predictors were identified, which could be further investigated using a unified PMV definition. Successful prediction of the need for PMV would assist clinicians in identifying and adjusting a "weaning strategy" as well as improving patient care to reduce morbidity. Furthermore, establishing specialized weaning units could be warranted based on PMV incidence and prediction in the local settings.
