Sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickening and excursion as predictors of weaning success in the intensive care unit: A prospective observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background and Aims: Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic function can be a useful bedside tool in the weaning and extubation of mechanically ventilated patients, especially in patients with difficult weaning, in whom diaphragmatic weakness is suspected. Thus, this study was planned to assess the role of bedside sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic indices such as diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DT Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 50 mechanically ventilated, weaning-ready patients during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). The DE and DT Results: Out of 50 patients, 15 (30%) had SBT failure and 4 had extubation failure. The group with SBT failure had significantly higher rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) and airway occlusion pressure (P0.1s), whereas DE and DT Conclusion: Along with conventional parameters of weaning, sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic parameters can be useful in predicting the success of SBT and in avoiding unnecessary extubation failures and thereby help in achieving a successful weaning outcome.
