High vs. low tidal volume and pulmonary complications in patients with cervical spinal cord injury on mechanical ventilation: systematic review.

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
Introduction: Cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) patients on mechanical ventilation often lack standardized guidelines for optimal ventilatory support. This study reviews existing literature to compare outcomes between high tidal volume (HTV) and low tidal volume (LTV) strategies in this unique patient population. Methods: We searched for studies published up to August 30, 2023, in five databases, following a PECO/PICO strategy. We found six studies for quantitative analysis and meta-analyzed five studies. Results: This meta-analysis included 396 patients with CSCI and mechanical ventilation (MV), 119 patients treated with high tidal volume (HTV), and 277 with low tidal volume (LTV). This first meta-analysis incorporates the few studies that show contradictory findings. Our meta-analysis shows that there is no significant statistical difference in developing VAP between both comparison groups (HTV vs. LTV) (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.13 to 1.66; Conclusion: In patients with CSCI in MV, the use of HTV does not carry a greater risk of pneumonia compared to LTV; in turn, it is shown as a safe ventilatory strategy as it does not establish an increase in other pulmonary complications such as ARDS, atelectasis, the onset of weaning nor others associated with volutrauma. It is necessary to evaluate the role of HTV ventilation in this group of patients in primary RCT-type studies.
