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

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a condition affecting 10% of patients requiring admission to the intensive care unit and results from endothelial dysfunction, alveolar epithelial injury and unbalanced inflammation, leading to exudative pulmonary oedema. A significant portion of these patients experience a lung injury that fails to resolve. Persistent or worsening respiratory failure beyond 5 days after the initiation of mechanical ventilation is referred to as nonresolving ARDS. Viral and fungal pathogens can exploit the hyperinflammatory environment and altered immune landscape in ARDS, perpetuating a cycle of ongoing inflammation and lung injury, thereby contributing to the progression towards and persistence of nonresolving ARDS, even in previously immunocompetent patients. This review discusses the significance, pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges and key knowledge gaps concerning various viral and fungal pathogens in nonresolving ARDS, with a particular focus on influenza-associated and COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis and pulmonary reactivation of
