Effect of constipation on outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Constipation can be a significant clinical challenge that can compromise management plans and prolong hospital stays. Our goal was to examine the effects of constipation on mechanically ventilated patients, with outcomes related to inpatient stays. We retrospectively analyzed critically ill patients hospitalized with constipation in the 2016 to 2019 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Constipation was defined using Rome IV criteria. Critically ill patients were defined as mechanically ventilated from admission day 1. Our primary outcome was length of stay (LOS) and total hospital charge. Secondary outcomes included predictors of mortality in critically ill patients with constipation. The study included 2,351,119 weighted discharges of mechanically ventilated patients in the NIS database. Of these, 3.7% had constipation. The adjusted LOS was 3.4 days longer in patients with constipation vs those without it (
