Effective Implementation of Ventilator Care Bundles in Improves Outcomes: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo evaluate the effect of 17-ventilator care bundles and different training strategies for critical care nurses on clinical outcomes.
designA randomized controlled triple-blinded clinical trial.
settingThe multicenter study was conducted in four academic teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran, from October 2011 to June 2015. PATIENTS: A total of 1,600 adult patients (age ≥ 18 yr) who were admitted to mixed medical-surgical ICUs (> 72 hr) and received invasive ventilation (> 48 hr) were included in this study. In addition, 160 critical care nurses were recruited through letters and telephone and face-to-face invitations.
interventionsSeventeen-ventilator care bundles applied by four different groups of nurses. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsClinical outcomes were compared between four groups of study which include three intervention groups (who received 17-ventilator care bundles by trained nurses) and one control group (who received routine care). According to the results, ICU length of stay, non-ICU length of stay, ventilator-associated pneumonia occurrence date, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and mortality rates were significantly higher in control group compared with other groups.
conclusionsCritical care nurses training program to accurately implement 17-ventilator care bundles improves outcomes.
