Prediction of PaO2 from SpO2 values in critically ill invasively ventilated patients: rationale and protocol for a patient-level analysis of ERICC, LUNG SAFE, PRoVENT and PRoVENT-iMiC (PRoPERLy II).
Article in Critical care science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
introductionIn patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality risk is typically assessed using the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Recently, the SpO2/FiO2 ratio, which uses peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) instead of PaO2, has been suggested as a reasonable alternative when there is little access to arterial blood gas analyses. Additionally, equations that predict PaO2 from SpO2 values could offer another viable method for assessment.
aimTo evaluate the accuracy of methods for predicting PaO2 from SpO2 values and compare risk stratification based on measured versus predicted PaO2/FiO2 ratios using a large database that harmonizes the individual data of patients included in four observational studies. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The individual data from four observational studies ('Epidemiology of Respiratory Insufficiency in Critical Care study' [ERICC], 'Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure' [LUNG SAFE], 'PRactice of VENTilation in critically ill patients without ARDS' [PRoVENT], and 'PRactice of VENTilation in critically ill patients in Middle-income Countries' [PRoVENT-iMiC]) were harmonized and pooled into a database named 'PRoPERLy II'. The primary endpoint of this planned analysis will be the accuracy of currently available methods to predict PaO2 from SpO2 values. The secondary endpoint will be the accuracy of classification based on SpO2/FiO2 ratio and the predicted PaO2/FiO2 ratio. DISSEMINATION: Our planned analysis addresses a clinically important research question by comparing different equations for predicting PaO2 from SpO2 values.
