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

The prone position is an immediately available and easily implemented procedure that was introduced more than 50 years ago as a method for improvement of gas exchange in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the meantime, a survival advantage could also be shown in patients with severe ARDS, which led to the recommendation of the prone position for treatment of severe ARDS by expert consensus and specialist society guidelines. The continuing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic moved the prone position to the forefront of medicine, including the widespread implementation of the prone position for awake, spontaneously breathing nonintubated patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory insufficiency. The survival advantage is possible due to a reduction of the ventilator-associated lung damage. In this article, the physiological effects, data on clinical results, practical considerations and open questions with respect to the prone position are discussed.
