A nationwide retrospective analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the US.

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
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major cause of healthcare-associated mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated. The purpose of this study was to describe the various primary discharge diagnoses of hospitalizations with VAP, to identify their demographic characteristics, and to identify risk factors for mortality in hospitalizations with VAP. Hospitalizations with a diagnosis of VAP with mechanical ventilation for over 24 hours were selected from the National Inpatient Sample in 2016 and 2017. In total, 33,140 hospitalizations with VAP were analyzed. The leading principal discharge diagnoses for hospitalizations leading to VAP were sepsis due to an unspecified organism (16.92%), respiratory failure (8.09%), and VAP (6.38%). Mortality among hospitalizations with VAP was 20.9%. Independent risk factors for mortality in hospitalizations with VAP were uninsured status (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.49-3.06,
