1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCertification of centers for weaning from a ventilator in neurological neurosurgical early rehabilitation (NNER) by the German Society for Neurorehabilitation (DGNR) is possible since 1 October 2021.

objectiveThe results of certification of facilities in the first year after starting the procedure are presented. MATERIAL AND

methodsAs part of the certification process 28 criteria are assessed including a set of mandatory characteristics of the facility. The criteria are divided into structural criteria (i = 7), diagnostic criteria (i = 6), personnel criteria (i = 3), internal organization criteria (i = 7), and quality management criteria (i = 5).

resultsA total of 13 centers were certified in the first year, with a combined total of 283 beds for weaning from a ventilator in the NNER and served 2278 persons to be weaned from a ventilator in the year before certification, with a median of 134 per facility (range 44-414). Only rarely was weaning unsuccessful, requiring conversion to home mechanical ventilation before discharge (invasive home mechanical ventilation median per facility 10 persons, range 2-25; non-invasive home mechanical ventilation median 0 persons, range 0-57). A high level of process and structural quality was documented for the certified centers: across all areas of assessment, the individual certification criteria were met in the vast majority of cases (median degree of complete fulfilment 86%) or met with improvement potentials documented by the auditors (median 11%).

conclusionSuccessful weaning in NNER and a high level of process and structural quality can be demonstrated by the certification results of centers that follow this integrative approach to weaning from a ventilator in a NNER setting.
