Incidence and Risk Model Development for Severe Tachypnea Following Terminal Extubation.
Article in Chest, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPalliative ventilator withdrawal (PVW) in the ICU is a common occurrence. RESEARCH QUESTION: The goal of this study was to measure the rate of severe tachypnea as a proxy for dyspnea and to identify characteristics associated with episodes of tachypnea. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThis study assessed a retrospective cohort of ICU patients from 2008 to 2012 mechanically ventilated at a single academic medical center who underwent PVW. The primary outcome of at least one episode of severe tachypnea (respiratory rate > 30 breaths/min) within 6 h after PVW was measured by using detailed physiologic and medical record data. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between patient and treatment characteristics with the occurrence of a severe episode of tachypnea post extubation.
resultsAmong 822 patients undergoing PVW, 19% and 30% had an episode of severe tachypnea during the 1-h and 6-h postextubation period, respectively. Within 1 h postextubation, patients with the following characteristics were more likely to experience tachypnea: no pre-extubation opiates (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.08; 95% CI, 1.03-4.19), lung injury (aOR, 3.33; 95% CI, 2.19-5.04), Glasgow Coma Scale score > 8 (aOR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.30-3.77), and no postextubation opiates (aOR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.19-3.00).
interpretationUp to one-third of ICU patients undergoing PVW experience severe tachypnea. Administration of pre-extubation opiates (anticipatory dosing) represents a key modifiable factor that may reduce poor symptom control.
