Mechanical Power Differs Between Pressure-Controlled Ventilation and Different Volume-Controlled Ventilation Modes.
Article in Critical care explorations, 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
objectivesMechanical power (MP) is a way of estimating the energy delivered by the ventilator to the patient. For both volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) methods have been described to calculate the MP. The pressure-volume (PV) loop, from which the MP is calculated, is different for VCV compared with PCV. We aimed to compare the MP of VCV with zero pause time (VCV-0), VCV with 10% pause time (VCV-10), and PCV within patients in different patient categories based on severity of lung injury.
designIn a proof-of-concept study, we enrolled 46 mechanically ventilated patients without spontaneous breathing efforts. Baseline measurements were done in pressure-controlled mode. Subsequently, measurements were done in VCV-0 and VCV-10. Tidal volume and all other settings were kept the same.
settingICU, single university medical center. PATIENTS: Fifty-eight cases in 46 patients on controlled ventilation modes.
interventionsComparison between the MP of PCV, VCV-0, and VCV-10. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN
resultsThe mean MP of VCV-0, VCV-10, and PCV was 19.30, 21.80, and 20.87 J/min, respectively (
conclusionsIn patients ventilated in a controlled mode, VCV without pause time had the lowest MP followed by PCV. VCV with 10% pause time had the highest MP.
