Effects of rescue inhaled nitric oxide on right ventricle and pulmonary circulation in severe COVID-related acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Article in Journal of critical care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposesTo assess the effects of inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) on right ventricle dimension and function and systolic pulmonary arterial pressures in severe Acute Respiratory Distress (ARDS) due to Sars-Cov2 (COVID) infection. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe assessed the effects of iNO on right ventricle dimension and function and systolic pulmonary arterial pressures in 12 consecutive COVID-related ARDS patients by means of serial echocardiographic exams (baseline, 12 and 24 h since iNO start).
resultsInhaled NO administration did not influence systolic pulmonary arterial pressures nor RV dimension and function. No changes were detectable in ventilatory data with iNO administration. Considering the negligible effect on oxygenation, iNO use was discontinued in all cases.
conclusionsIn COVID-related severe ARDS iNO administrated as rescue therapy is not able to ameliorate oxygenation nor pulmonary hypertension, as assessed by serial echocardiograms. This finding may be explained by the diffuse loss of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction with increased perfusion around alveolar consolidations which characterizes COVID-related severe ARDS.
