Analysis of risk factors for weaning failure from mechanical ventilation in critically ill older patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing weaning failure from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in critically ill older patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: We enrolled critically ill older patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) and received IMV between December 2022 and June 2023. Results: We included 68 critically ill older patients with COVID-19 (52 male [76.5 %] and 16 female individuals [23.5 %]). The patients' median age (interquartile range) was 75.5 (70.3-82.8) years. The median length of ICU stay was 11.5 (7.0-17.8) days; 34 cases (50.0 %) were successfully weaned from IMV. The successfully weaned group had a higher proportion of underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [6 (17.6 %) vs. 0, P = 0.033] and fewer cases of diabetes [7 (20.6 %) vs. 16 (47.1 %), P = 0.021] compared with the weaning failure group. Serum lactate levels [1.5 (1.2-2.3) vs. 2.6 (1.9-3.1) mmol/L, P < 0.001], blood urea nitrogen [8.2 (6.3-14.4) vs. 11.4 (8.0-21.3) mmol/L, P = 0.033], Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score [19.0 (12.0-23.3) vs. 22.5 (16.0-29.3), P = 0.014], and hospitalization days before endotracheal intubation [1.0 (0.0-5.0) vs. 3.0 (0.0-11.0), P = 0.023] were significantly decreased in the successfully weaned group, whereas PaO Conclusion: In critically ill older patients with COVID-19 with diabetes, higher APACHE II Score, and longer hospitalization days before endotracheal intubation, weaning from IMV was more challenging. The study could help develop strategies for improving COVID-19 treatment.
