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.

Abstract

backgroundInadequate intraoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury and increased risk for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Mechanical power (MP) was shown to be a valuable indicator for MV outcomes in critical care patients. The aim of this study is to assess the association between intraoperative MP in low-risk surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia and PPCs.

methodsTwo-hundred eighteen low-risk surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery were included in the study. Intraoperative mechanical ventilatory support parameters were collected for all patients. Postoperatively, patients were followed throughout their hospital stay and up to seven days post discharge for the occurrence of any PPCs.

resultsOut of 218 patients, 35% exhibited PPCs. The average body mass index, tidal volume per ideal body weight, peak inspiratory pressure, and MP were significantly higher in the patients with PPCs than in the patients without PPCs (30.3 ± 8.1 kg/m

conclusionsHigh intraoperative mechanical power is a risk factor for developing postoperative pulmonary complications. Furthermore, intraoperative mechanical power is superior to other traditional mechanical ventilation variables in identifying surgical patients who are at risk for developing postoperative pulmonary complications.
