Lung regions identified with CT improve the value of global inhomogeneity index measured with electrical impedance tomography.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe global inhomogeneity (
methodsEIT measurements were performed at the level of the fifth intercostal space in six patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The thorax and lungs were segmented automatically from serial individual CT scans. The anatomically derived lung regions were calculated in EIT images from simulating a homogeneous ventilation distribution in a finite element model. The conventional approach (
