A Comparison of the Effects of Different Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Levels on Respiratory Parameters During Prone Positioning Under General Anaesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
Background and objective In general anesthesia, for certain surgical procedures in the prone position, patients often face increased airway pressures, reduced pulmonary and thoracic compliance, and restricted chest expansion, all of which can affect venous return and cardiac output, impacting overall hemodynamic stability. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used to address these issues by improving lung recruitment and ventilation while reducing stress on lung units. However, different PEEP levels also present risks such as increased parenchymal strain, higher pulmonary vascular resistance, and impaired venous return. Proper positioning and frequent monitoring are key to ensuring adequate oxygenation and minimizing complications arising from prolonged periods in the prone position. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different PEEP levels (0 cmH
