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

objectivesTo assess the feasibility of setting the tidal volume (TV) as 25% of the actual aerated lung volume (rather than on ideal body weight) in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

designPhysiologic prospective single-center pilot study.

settingMedical ICU specialized in the care of patients with ARDS. PATIENTS: Patients with moderate-severe ARDS deeply sedated or paralyzed, undergoing controlled mechanical ventilation with a ventilator able to measure the end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) with a washin, washout technique.

interventionsThree-phase study (baseline, strain-selected TV setting, ventilation with strain-selected TV for 24 hr). The TV was calculated as 25% of the measured EELV minus the static strain due to the applied positive end-expiratory pressure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsGas exchanges and respiratory mechanics were measured and compared in each phase. In addition, during the TV setting phase, driving pressure (DP) and lung strain (TV/EELV) were measured at different TVs to assess the correlation between the two measurements. The maintenance of the set strain-selected TV for 24 hours was safe and feasible in 76% of the patients enrolled. Three patients dropped out from the study because of the need to set a respiratory rate higher than 35 breaths per minute to avoid respiratory acidosis. The DP of the respiratory system was a satisfactory surrogate for strain in this population.

conclusionsIn our population of 17 patients with moderate to severe ARDS, setting TV based on the actual lung size was feasible. DP was a reliable surrogate of strain in these patients, and DP less than or equal to 8 cm H
