Inspiratory and end-expiratory effects of lung recruitment in the prone position on dorsal lung aeration - new physiological insights in a secondary analysis of a randomised controlled study in post-cardiac surgery patients.
Article in BJA open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03009331 (Descriptive and Comparative Study of Respiratory Function in the Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Patient), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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

Abstract
Background: Cardiac surgery produces dorso-basal atelectasis and ventilation/perfusion mismatch, associated with infection and prolonged intensive care. A postoperative lung volume recruitment manoeuvre to decrease the degree of atelectasis is routine. In patients with severe respiratory failure, prone positioning and recruitment manoeuvres may increase survival, oxygenation, or both. We compared the effects of lung recruitment in prone Methods: In a prospective RCT, 30 post-cardiac surgery patients were randomly allocated to recruitment manoeuvres in the prone ( Results: The last part of dorsal end-inspiratory volume after extubation was higher after prone (49.1 a.u.; 95% confidence interval [CI], 37.4-60.6) Conclusions: Recruitment in the prone position improves dorsal inspiratory and end-expiratory lung volumes after cardiac surgery. Clinical trial registration: NCT03009331.
