Effects of different ventilatory settings on alveolar and pulmonary microvessel dimensions in pigs.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume (TV) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may induce lung overinflation and increased pulmonary vascular resistance to flow. In 8 healthy mechanically ventilated pigs, we evaluated whether incident dark field (IDF) vital microscopy, applied through a small thoracotomy, could be used to evaluate changes in alveolar and pulmonary microvessel dimensions under different ventilator settings. High TV (12 ml/kg) increased alveolar diameters (from 99 ± 13 to 114 ± 6 μm, p < 0.05 repeated measures one way analysis of variance) and reduced septal capillary diameters (from 12.1 ± 1.7 to 10.5 ± 1.4 μm, p < 0.001) as compared to 8 ml/kg TV. This effect was more pronounced in non-dependent lung. Alveolar and microvessel diameters did not change with high PEEP (12 cmH
