Evaluation of the Integrative Weaning Index for Predicting the Outcome of Spontaneous Breathing Trial in Patients with Cirrhosis on Mechanical Ventilation: A Pilot Study.

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
objectiveStudies on mechanical ventilation in patients with cirrhosis have focused mainly on survival, as the disease is considered to carry a poor prognosis. The process of weaning in these patients has never been studied. With improving survival, it would be ideal to study the weaning indices that could add experience in clinical management. The integrative weaning index is known to predict weaning failure, even in those who tolerate the spontaneous breathing trial. However, it has been evaluated mainly in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Our aim is to study the integrative weaning index in predicting the outcome of the spontaneous breathing trial in patients with cirrhosis undergoing mechanical ventilation.
methodsAdult cirrhotic patients requiring mechanical ventilation for the first time were enrolled. Twenty-seven patients were found eligible for weaning. After the decision to wean, the patients were put on pressure support mode of ventilator followed by spontaneous breathing trial using T-piece for 2 hours.
resultsThe study population was divided into two groups: successful spontaneous breathing trial group (Group S) and unsuccessful spontaneous breathing trial group (Group U) based on the outcome of the breathing trial. The mean respiratory rate was significantly lower in Group S as compared to Group U. The compliance of the respiratory system and integrative weaning index were found to be significantly higher in Group S. An integrative weaning index of 28 mL/cmH2O breaths/min/L was found to be a good predictor of weaning success.
conclusionsOur results demonstrate that weaning from mechanical ventilation is possible in critically ill patients with cirrhosis. An integrative weaning index of 28 mL/cmH2O breaths/min/L could be a successful predictor of weaning from mechanical ventilation.
