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

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) affects a significant proportion of ICU patients and has a high mortality rate. The inflammation of the alveolar-capillary membrane is pathognomonic and characterized by increased capillary permeability and pulmonary edema. A safe, readily available anti-inflammatory agent delivered directly to the lungs could be a promising therapeutic approach. All these properties apply to nebulized furosemide. Objectives The primary objective of this study is to analyze 28-day all-cause ICU mortality while the secondary objectives include assessing hospital mortality, ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), ventilator-free days at 28 days, successful extubation rate, and adverse events. Methods A double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm superiority RCT using an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis to assess whether nebulized furosemide reduces mortality in adult mechanically ventilated ARDS patients will be employed. Results The results of descriptive and inferential analyses will be tabulated, and the significant results will be presented.
