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

introductionIn recent years, the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation has increased steadily. In some cases, weaning is not successful. These patients depend on home mechanical ventilation and intensive outpatient care. Surprisingly, most of these patients were never treated in a weaning center. Thus, weaning might still be possible in at least some of them. Health insurance companies have recognized this problem.

methodsAOK Hessen, a major health insurance company in the German federal state of Hesse, identified some starting points for improvement after having surveyed their patients in ambulant intensive care. Principal points for future measures are expertise of the treating medical center (weaning experience, weaning center), establishment of new centers for homecare ventilation for long term therapy of these patients and a coordinated follow up.

resultsCenters for homecare ventilation are wards with a non-hospital atmosphere affiliated to a weaning center. The main focus here is not weaning itself but daily physical and speech therapy. Patients in home care ventilation centers have time (up to 6 months) to improve their physical and mental strength. Afterwards, depending to their development, they can be transferred to the weaning center again. DISCUSSION: In this paper, we introduce the concept of the home care ventilation centers. Initial data suggests that home care ventilation centers can contribute to successful weaning.
