Airway Pressure Release Ventilation Combined With Prone Positioning in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Old Tricks New Synergy: A Case Series.
Article in A&A practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) shares several overlapping mechanisms with prone positioning in improving ventilation-perfusion mismatch in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the combination of APRV and prone positioning is seldom performed because assist/controlled ventilation remains the mainstay ventilatory mode. We describe 5 cases of severe ARDS where APRV and prone positioning were applied. All patients' partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2):inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) ratios improved after treatment, and 3 patients were extubated within 72 hours of turning supine. In our experience, APRV can be safely used in the prone position in a select subgroup of ARDS patients with resulting significant oxygenation improvement.
