Breath Sensor Technology for the Use in Mechanical Lung Ventilation Equipment for Monitoring Critically Ill Patients.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe need for mechanical lung ventilation is common in critically ill patients, either with COVID-19 infection or due to other causes. Monitoring of patients being ventilated is essential for timely and improved management. We here propose the use of a novel breath volatile organic compound sensor technology to be used in a mechanical lung ventilation machine for this purpose; the technology was evaluated in critically ill COVID-19 patients on mechanical lung ventilation.
methodsBased on the consistency results of our study data, the breath sensor device with metal oxide gas sensors and environment-controlling sensors was mounted on the ventilation exhaust port of the ventilation machine; this allowed to ensure additional safety since the device was placed outside the contour between the patient and equipment.
resultsThe sensors allowed stable registration of the signals for up to several weeks for 10 patients in total, depending on the storage amount; a proportion of patients were intubated or received tracheostoma during the evaluation period. Future studies are on the way to correlate sensor readings to other parameters characterizing the severity of the patient condition and outcome.
conclusionsWe suppose that such technology will allow patient monitoring in real-time for timely identification of deterioration, potentially requiring some change of management. The obtained results are preliminary and further studies are needed to examine their clinical significance.
