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

backgroundLung ultrasound-guided alveolar recruitment manoeuvres (RMs) may reduce the lung ultrasound score. However, whether the use of this strategy can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the adult obese population has not yet been tested. METHODS/

designThis is a single-centre, two-arm, prospective, randomised controlled trial. A total number of 476 obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgeries will be enrolled. They will be randomly assigned to receive either lung ultrasound-guided RMs (intervention group) or conventional RMs (control group) intraoperatively. The occurrence of PPCs will be recorded as the primary outcome. DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first trial to test the effect of lung ultrasound-guided RMs on PPCs. The results of this trial will support the anaesthesiologists in choosing a potentially more efficient method to perform RMs for bariatric surgery patients.
