1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo determine whether VDPhys/VT is associated with coagulation activation and outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe enrolled patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who were supported by invasive mechanical ventilation and were monitored using volumetric capnography. Measurements were performed during the first 24 h of mechanical ventilation. The primary endpoint was the likelihood of being discharge alive on day 28.

resultsSixty patients were enrolled, of which 25 (42%) had high VDPhys/VT (>57%). Patients with high vs. low VDPhys/VT had higher APACHE II (10[8-13] vs. 8[6-9] points, p = 0.002), lower static compliance of the respiratory system (35[24-46] mL/cmH

conclusionsIn critically ill COVID-19 patients, increased VDPhys/VT was associated with high D-dimer levels and a lower likelihood of being discharged alive. Dichotomic VDPhys/VT could help identify a high-risk subgroup of patients neglected by the P/F ratio.
