Transpulmonary pressure monitoring in critically ill patients: pros and cons.
Review in Critical care (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The use of transpulmonary pressure monitoring based on measurement of esophageal pressure has contributed importantly to the personalization of mechanical ventilation based on respiratory pathophysiology in critically ill patients. However, esophageal pressure monitoring is still underused in the clinical practice. This technique allows partitioning of the respiratory mechanics between the lungs and the chest wall, provides information on lung recruitment and risk of barotrauma, and helps titrating mechanical ventilation settings in patients with respiratory failure. In assisted ventilation modes and during non-invasive respiratory support, esophageal pressure monitoring provides important information on the inspiratory effort and work of breathing. Nonetheless, several controversies persist on technical aspects, interpretation and clinical decision-making based on values derived from this monitoring technique. The aim of this review is to summarize the physiological bases of esophageal pressure monitoring, discussing the pros and cons of its clinical applications and different interpretations in critically ill patients undergoing invasive and non-invasive respiratory support.
