Review in Journal of intensive medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is the leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Of patients with AHRF, 40 %-50 % will require invasive mechanical ventilation during their stay in the ICU, and 30 %-80 % will meet the Berlin Criteria for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Rapid identification of the underlying cause of AHRF is necessary before initiating targeted treatment. Almost 10 % of patients with ARDS have no identified classic risk factors however, and the precise cause of AHRF may not be identified in up to 15 % of patients, particularly in cases of immunosuppression. In these patients, a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and hierarchical diagnostic work-up is mandatory, including a detailed history and physical examination, chest computed tomography, extensive microbiological investigations, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytological analysis, immunological tests, and investigation of the possible involvement of pneumotoxic drugs.
