Cough Peak Flow Assessment Without Disconnection From the ICU Ventilator in Mechanically Ventilated Patients.
Article in Respiratory care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundBecause ICU ventilators incorporate flow velocity measurement, cough peak expiratory flow (CPF) can be assessed without disconnecting the patient from the ICU ventilator. Our goal was to estimate the correlation between CPF obtained with the built-in ventilator flow meter (ventilator CPF) and CPF obtained with an electronic portable handheld peak flow meter connected to the endotracheal tube.
methodsCooperative mechanically ventilated patients who entered the weaning process and who were ventilated with pressure support < 15 cm H
resultsWe analyzed CPF obtained in 61 subjects. The mean ± SD value of ventilator CPF and peak flow meter CPF were 72.6 ± 27.5 L/min and 31.1 ± 13.4 L/min. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.63 (95% CI 0.45-0.76),
conclusionsCPF measurements using a built-in ventilator flow meter were feasible in routine practice with cooperative ICU subjects who were intubated and correlated with CPF assessed by an electronic portable peak flow meter.
