Lung aeration, ventilation, and perfusion imaging.
Review in Current opinion in critical care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purpose of reviewLung imaging is a cornerstone of the management of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), providing anatomical and functional information on the respiratory system function. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of mechanisms and applications of conventional and emerging lung imaging techniques in critically ill patients. RECENT
findingsChest radiographs provide information on lung structure and have several limitations in the ICU setting; however, scoring systems can be used to stratify patient severity and predict clinical outcomes. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for assessment of lung aeration but requires moving the patients to the CT facility. Dual-energy CT has been recently applied to simultaneous study of lung aeration and perfusion in patients with respiratory failure. Lung ultrasound has an established role in the routine bedside assessment of ICU patients, but has poor spatial resolution and largely relies on the analysis of artifacts. Electrical impedance tomography is an emerging technique capable of depicting ventilation and perfusion at the bedside and at the regional level. SUMMARY: Clinicians should be confident with the technical aspects, indications, and limitations of each lung imaging technique to improve patient care.
