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

Background: While critically ill patients experience a life-threatening illness, they commonly develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) which can increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The present study aimed to compare the effect of respiratory physiotherapy and increased positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP) on capnography results. Materials and Methods: This randomized control clinical trial was performed on 80 adult patients with VAP in the intensive care unit (ICU). The patients were randomized to receive either PEEP at 5 cm H Results: As evidenced by the obtained results, the two methods significantly differed in the excreted pCO Conclusion: CO
