Prone ventilation as treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome related to COVID-19.
Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Prone ventilation refers to the delivery of mechanical ventilation with the patient lying in the prone position. The improvement of oxygenation during prone ventilation is multifactorial, but occurs mainly by reducing lung compression and improving lung perfusion. CT imaging modeling data demonstrated that the asymmetry of lung shape leads to a greater induced pleural pressure gravity gradient when supine as compared to prone positioning. Although proning is indicated in patients with severe ARDS who are not responding to other ventilator modalities, this technique has moved away from a salvage therapy for refractory hypoxemia to an upfront lung-protective strategy intended to improve survival in severe ARDS, especially due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. In view of different roles, we surgeons had to take during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is of importance to learn how to implement this therapeutic measure, especially in a surgical critical care unit setting. As such, this article aims to review the physiological principles and effects of the prone ventilation, positioning, as well as its contraindications and complications.
