Association between intraoperative tidal volume and postoperative respiratory complications is dependent on respiratory elastance: a retrospective, multicentre cohort study.
Article in British journal of anaesthesia, 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
backgroundThe impact of high vs low intraoperative tidal volumes on postoperative respiratory complications remains unclear. We hypothesised that the effect of intraoperative tidal volume on postoperative respiratory complications is dependent on respiratory system elastance.
methodsWe retrospectively recorded tidal volume (Vt; ml kg
resultsOverall, 10 821/197 474 (5.5%) patients sustained postoperative respiratory complications. Higher Vt was associated with greater risk of postoperative respiratory complications (adjusted odds ratio=1.42 per ml kg
conclusionsThe association of harm with higher tidal volumes during intraoperative mechanical ventilation is modified by respiratory system elastance. These data suggest that respiratory elastance should inform the design of perioperative trials testing intraoperative ventilatory strategies.
