Increased ventilator utilization, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and mortality in non-COVID patients during the pandemic.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: This study examined ventilator utilization, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence, and mortality among non-COVID patients requiring mechanical ventilation during 2019 and 2020. Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried for adult hospitalizations with mechanical ventilation using ICD-10 procedure codes, excluding COVID-19 patients and minors. VAP rates were calculated per 1000 adults ventilated. Outcomes included ventilation rates, VAP incidence, and mortality odds between prepandemic and pandemic-exposed hospitalizations. Results: Analyzing 1,533,775 hospitalizations, the pandemic-exposed had more male patients (57.6% vs 56.2%, Conclusion: Significant ventilator utilization, VAP rates, and mortality increases occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
