E-cigarette or vaping product use-associated acute lung injury (EVALI) as a therapeutic problem in anaesthesiology and intensive care departments.
Review in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 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
Based on the data currently available in literature, the factors inducing acute lung injury resulting from the increasingly widespread use of e-cigarettes (vaping) (EVALI) were analysed. Although the number of traditional smokers in the population has been declining, vaping may be dangerous to health due to the substances contained in various e-cigarette liquids and cause acute respiratory failure during various forms of pneumonitis. In addition to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CB) and other opioids, the major injuring factors include standard ingredients of e-liquid, such as propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, colouring dyes, and flavouring agents. Vaping-associated lung injury impairs the alveolar-capillary barrier and distribution of respiratory volume manifesting the features of atelectasis, which is particularly pronounced in lipoid pneumonia. Due to critical gas exchange disorders, ICU treatment is required in an increasing number of patients. The management is essentially based on steroid and antibiotic therapy; whenever the ventilator is needed, the principles of lung-protective ventilation should be strictly followed. If mechanical ventilation fails, ECMO should be considered.
