COVID-19 respiratory support outside the ICU's doors. An observational study for a new operative strategy.
Observational study in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimDuring the first wave of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, we faced a massive clinical and organizational challenge having to manage critically ill patients outside the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This was due to the significant imbalance between ICU bed availability and the number of patients presenting Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure caused by SARS-CoV-2-related interstitial pneumonia. We therefore needed to perform Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in non-intensive wards to assist these patients and relieve pressure on the ICUs and subsequently implemented a new organizational and clinical model. This study was aimed at evaluating its effectiveness and feasibility.
methodsWe recorded the anamnestic, clinical and biochemical data of patients undergoing non-invasive mechanical ventilation while hospitalized in non-intensive CoronaVirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) wards. Data were registered on admission, during anesthesiologist counseling, and when NIV was started and suspended. We retrospectively registered the available results from routine arterial blood gas and laboratory analyses for each time point.
resultsWe retrospectively enrolled 231 patients. Based on our criteria, we identified 46 patients as NIV responders, representing 19.9% of the general study population and 29.3% of the patients that spent their entire hospital stay in non-ICU wards. Overall mortality was 56.2%, with no significant differences between patients in non-intensive wards (57.3%) and those later admitted to the ICU (54%) Conclusions: NIV is safe and manageable in an emergency situation and could become part of an integrated clinical and organizational model.
