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

introductionWe aimed to describe the respiratory supports and determine their association with clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU).

methodsA systemic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, MedRxiv and BioRxiv database from December 2019 to 2 July 2020. Studies reporting the application of respiratory supports in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU were included.

resultsForty studies with 15320 COVID-19 patients were included in this systematic review. The proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) application in ICU patients with COVID-19 was 73.8%. Further analysis elucidated that the use rate of IMV in Asia, Europe and North America was 47%, 76.2% and 80.2%, respectively. The proportion of patients treated with prone positioning and IMV was 29.4%. 25.5% of COVID-19 patients requiring IMV developed ventilator-associated pneumonia. The mortality of patients treated with IMV was 51.1%, while only 17.5% of critically ill COVID-19 patients treated with non-IMV respiratory support died. Additionally, the utilization rate of IMV in non-survival patients was shown 17.26-folds (95%CI 2.89-103.24,

conclusionsOur findings highlight respiratory supports of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU in different continents. IMV is a life-saving strategy for critically ill COVID-19 patients with ARDS, yet the mortality remains very high.
