The Long-Term Survival of Successfully Weaned Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Patients.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThere are rare articles in the literature that addressed long-term survival in successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients. How are the long-term outcomes of these successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients? Our objective is to explore this issue in depth in this study and serve as the basis for us to provide suggestions for patients in long-term care of the successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients.
methodsWe investigated the clinical variables, long-term survival, cause of death, receipt or not of tracheostomy and analyzed the factors association with survival in successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients.
resultsWe can further gather long-term follow-up data on successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients, 243 patients. The 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year survival rates of successfully weaned PMV patients were 32.5%, 28.0%, 24.9%, 23.9%, and 21.3%, respectively. The factors between successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients who died in the ward and those who were discharged from the hospital revealed the poorer survival of patients who died in the ward was due to a higher percentage of end-stage renal disease comorbidity, a higher percentage of ≥4 comorbidities and a lower percentage of undergoing tracheostomy. The factors between successfully weaned discharged prolonged mechanical ventilation patients who survived <1 year and those who survived ≥1 year revealed the poorer survival of patients who survived <1 year was due to older age, a higher percentage of ≥4 comorbidities, and a lower percentage of undergoing tracheostomy.
conclusionThe receipt or not of tracheostomy is the key influential factor of long-term survival of successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients. Tracheostomy should be attempted in suitable patients for improving long-term outcomes in successfully weaned prolonged mechanical ventilation patients.
