The Impact of PEEP on Ventilation Distribution in ARDS.
Article in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe first aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to identify the effect of PEEP on regional ventilation distribution and the regional risk of collapse, overdistention, hypoventilation, and pendelluft in mechanically ventilated patients. The second aim was to evaluate the feasibility of EIT for estimating airway opening pressure (AOP).
methodsThe EIT signal was recorded both during baseline cyclic ventilation and slow insufflation for one breath for 9 subjects with moderate-to-severe ARDS. From these data, the AOP and volumes insufflated to lung regions with or without the risk of either collapse, overdistention, hypoventilation, or pendelluft were assessed at 3 PEEP levels (5, 10, and 15 cm H
resultsThe volume for which there was no specific risk significantly decreased at the highest PEEP from 55 ± 31% tidal volume (V
conclusionsOur results suggest that EIT could aid clinicians in making personalized and reasoned choices in setting the PEEP for subjects with ARDS.
