Speckle tracking ultrasound as a new tool to predict the weaning outcome of mechanical ventilation patients: a prospective observational study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06996665 (Diaphragmatic Physiology Similarity Index May Titrate HFNC Flow Setting), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.

Abstract
Introduction: Speckle tracking ultrasound is a novel technique for evaluating diaphragm movement, yet its guidance in weaning mechanically ventilated patients remains unclear. In this study, we assessed diaphragmatic function using speckle tracking ultrasound and guided the weaning process. Methods: A total of 86 mechanically ventilated patients were included and divided into successful or failed weaning groups. Diaphragmatic function was assessed using speckle tracking ultrasound, M-ultrasound diaphragm excursion (DE), and diaphragmatic twitch force (DTF) after 30 min spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). The diagnostic performance of these indicator in predicting weaning outcomes was also evaluated. Results: In this study, a total of 86 patients completed the follow-up for weaning outcomes, with 35 cases of weaning failure and 51 cases of successful weaning. Logistic regression analysis identified whole strain ( Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate the feasibility of using speckle tracking ultrasound to assess diaphragmatic function in mechanically ventilated patients. The combined utilization of whole strain and DE provides a more precise evaluation of diaphragmatic function in ICU patient, which may improve patient outcome.
