A multicenter cluster randomized, stepped wedge implementation trial for targeted normoxia in critically ill trauma patients: study protocol and statistical analysis plan for the Strategy to Avoid Excessive Oxygen (SAVE-O2) trial.
Article in Trials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
backgroundTargeted normoxia (SpO
methodsDesign, setting, and participants: Protocol for a multicenter cluster randomized, stepped wedge implementation trial evaluating the effectiveness of a multimodal intervention to target normoxia in critically ill trauma patients at eight level 1 trauma centers in the USA. Each hospital will contribute pre-implementation (control) and post-implementation (intervention) data. All sites will begin in the control phase with usual care. When sites reach their randomly assigned time to transition, there will be a one-month training period, which does not contribute to data collection. Following the 1-month training period, the site will remain in the intervention phase for the duration of the trial.
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome will be supplemental oxygen-free days, defined as the number of days alive and not on supplemental oxygen. Secondary outcomes include in-hospital mortality to day 90, hospital-free days to day 90, ventilator-free days (VFD) to day 28, time to room air, Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS), and duration of time receiving supplemental oxygen. DISCUSSION: SAVE-O2 will determine if a multimodal intervention to improve compliance with targeted normoxia will safely reduce the need for concentrated oxygen for critically injured trauma patients. These data will inform military stakeholders regarding oxygen requirements for critically injured warfighters, while reducing logistical burden in prolonged combat casualty care.
