Elevated pulsatility index of the superior mesenteric artery indicated prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients after cardiac valve surgery.

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
Purpose: This study examined whether alterations in Doppler parameters of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery. Methods: Hemodynamic and SMA Doppler parameters were collected at intensive care unit(ICU) admission. The duration of mechanical ventilation was monitored. PMV was defined as mechanical ventilation ≥96 h. Results: A total of 132 patients admitted to ICU after cardiac valve surgery were evaluated for enrollment, of whom 105 were included. Patients were assigned to the control ( Conclusions: An elevated SMA-PI is common in patients after cardiac valve surgery with PMV. Increased SMA-PI could help predict PMV after cardiac valve surgery. Using point-of-care ultrasound to measure SMA-PI at ICU admission is an acceptable and reproducible method for identifying patients with PMV.
