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

Invasive mechanical ventilation (VMI) is a life support therapy that is not free of complications, such as ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, which is characterized by atrophy and weakness of the muscle. Interest in this pathology seems to be based on the association found with negative clinical results. The prevalence ranges between 29 and 80%, probably due to the variability between the different diagnostic methods and the time of evaluation. The gold standard continues to be the transdiaphragmatic negative pressure generated by the bilateral stimulation of the phrenic nerves, although due to the lack of practicality, diaphragmatic ultrasound began to be used. Although it has several modalities, not all of them have correlation analysis with the gold standard. Another problem arises when analyzing the independent association between pathology and VMI, since confusing factors are not easy to isolate.
