Effect of perioperative sigh ventilation on postoperative hypoxemia and pulmonary complications after on-pump cardiac surgery (E-SIGHT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06248320 (Effect of Perioperative Sigh Ventilation on Postoperative Hypoxemia and Pulmonary Complications After On-pump Cardiac Surgery), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative hypoxemia and pulmonary complications remain a frequent event after on-pump cardiac surgery and mostly characterized by pulmonary atelectasis. Surfactant dysfunction or hyposecretion happens prior to atelectasis formation, and sigh represents the strongest stimulus for surfactant secretion. The role of sigh breaths added to conventional lung protective ventilation in reducing postoperative hypoxemia and pulmonary complications among cardiac surgery is unknown.
methodsThe perioperative sigh ventilation in cardiac surgery (E-SIGHT) trial is a single-center, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. In total, 192 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamp will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms. In the experimental group, besides conventional lung protective ventilation, sigh volumes producing plateau pressures of 35 cmH DISCUSSION: The E-SIGHT trial will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of perioperative sigh ventilation on the postoperative outcomes after on-pump cardiac surgery. The trial will introduce and assess a novel perioperative ventilation approach to mitigate the risk of postoperative hypoxemia and PPCs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Also provide the basis for a future larger trial aiming at verifying the impact of sigh ventilation on postoperative pulmonary complications.
