Risk Factors of Decreased Abdominal Expiratory Muscle Thickness in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients-The mNUTRIC Score is an Independent Predictor.

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: The expiratory abdominal skeletal muscles are an important component of the respiratory muscle pump, and their reduced thickness has been associated with difficult weaning. There is no objective score that may help clinicians to predict expiratory abdominal muscle thinning. Patients and methods: This was a single-center retrospective study on 81 patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation. The thickness of the four abdominal expiratory muscles-rectus abdominis (RA), internal oblique (IO), external oblique (EO), and transversus abdominis (TA) on the day of the first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), was obtained. The various parameters of the patients with thinner RA, IO, EO, and TA below the determined thickness cut-off values, predicting difficult weaning was analyzed. Results: Modified nutritional risk in critically ill (mNUTRIC) score was found to be an independent predictor of thinner IO muscle after logistic regression analysis [ Conclusion: The mNUTRIC score is an independent predictor of thinner abdominal expiratory muscles in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients.
