Associations of mechanical power, ventilatory ratio, and other respiratory indices with mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Mechanical power (MP) and ventilatory ratio (VR) are crucial metrics in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of these factors on ICU mortality in patients with ARDS undergoing pressure-controlled ventilation. Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 600 adult patients with ARDS who required mechanical ventilation for > 48 h between March 2018 and February 2021 in a tertiary referral hospital in Korea. The MP was calculated using Becher's simplified equation, and the VR was determined using standard formulas. The ventilatory parameters were measured hourly during the first 12 h of ventilation. Clinical characteristics, ventilator settings, and outcomes were compared between the survivors and non-survivors. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the predictive performance of the respiratory and mechanical ventilation parameters for ICU mortality. Results: Of the 600 patients, 61.5% ( Conclusion: Our findings indicate that MP and VR were independently associated with ICU mortality in patients with ARDS undergoing pressure-controlled ventilation.
