A study of mechanical ventilation in the ICU after cardiac surgery: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: After cardiac surgery, patients are often admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to various preoperative factors and continue to receive mechanical ventilation. This study sought to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize studies on mechanical ventilation among postoperative ICU patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. Methods: We searched the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database using the following terms: "cardiac surgery (Topic)", "intensive care (Topic)" and "ventilation (Topic)". The search results were analyzed using R software. The analysis examined the number of publications of relevant articles and the annual change trend, the number of times an article was cited and the annual change trend, the distribution of countries conducting the research, the cooperation between countries and the citation frequency, the distribution of institutions conducting research, the cooperation between institutions, and the citation frequency, the number of published articles, the cooperation among researchers, and the citations frequency of researchers, the journals in which the articles were published, and the use of keywords. Results: A total of 1,969 relevant research papers were included in this study. The main countries that conducted the relevant research included the United States (US), China, Germany, and Canada. The research institutions were mainly located in the US and Canada, and the main researchers were from research institutions in these countries. The most cited authors were Zappitelli, Hichey, and Wypij. According to Bradford's law, 9 core journals in this field were identified. The results of the keyword analysis showed that in the past 10 years, research has focused on the mortality of patients, but only a few related random controlled trials have been conducted. Conclusions: More randomized controlled trials need to be conducted in this field to provide higher evidence-based medical evidence.
