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

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of adverse events in mechanically ventilated adults with COVID-19 who have undergone prone positioning. A total of 100 patients were included retrospectively; 60% were males, the mean age was 64.8 ± 9.1 years, and hospital mortality was 47%. In all, we recorded 118 removals of catheters and tubes in 66 patients; 29.6% were removals of a nasogastric tube, 18.6% of an arterial line, 14.4% of a urinary catheter, and 12.7% of a central venous catheter. Reintubation or repositioning of a tracheotomy tube was required in 19 patients (16.1%), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 2 patients (1.7%). We recorded a total of 184 pressure ulcers in 79 patients (on anterior face in 38.5%, anterior thorax in 23.3% and any extremity anteriorly in 15.2%). We observed that body weight (
