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

As COVID-19 emerged in the world, there was a high prevalence of intubation and intensive care admissions. Many cases of barotrauma were reported in those patients. This condition is caused by alveoli rupture, which causes the air to enter the surrounding extra-alveolar spaces. It mainly happens in intubated patients. Here, we report 14 cases of barotrauma in COVID-19 patients, which appeared either spontaneously or after receiving non-invasive ventilation, some of the patients presented initially with mild-moderate forms of the disease in terms of severity. Developing barotrauma causes a management challenge in COVID-19 patients, where the patients might require invasive mechanical ventilation afterwards, which is a difficult situation. Lung protective measures should be used to reduce the risk of barotrauma in all patients as it is associated with increased mortality.
