Complications of invasive mechanical ventilation in critically Ill Covid-19 patients - A narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Critically ill COVID-19 patients have to undergo positive pressure ventilation, a non-physiological and invasive intervention that can be lifesaving in severe ARDS. Similar to any other intervention, it has its pros and cons. Despite following Lung Protective Ventilation (LPV), some of the complications are frequently reported in these critically ill patients and significantly impact overall mortality. The complications related to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in critically ill COVID-19 patients can be broadly divided into pulmonary and non-pulmonary. Among pulmonary complications, the most frequent is ventilator-associated pneumonia. Others are barotrauma, including subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, bullous lesions, cardiopulmonary effects of right ventricular dysfunction, and pulmonary complications mimicking cardiac failure, including pulmonary edema. Tracheal complications, including full-thickness tracheal lesions (FTTLs) and tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are serious but rare complications. Non-Pulmonary complications include neurological, nephrological, ocular, and oral complications.
