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

backgroundRecent reports have described an intriguing pathophysiological phenomenon in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with the paradoxical improvement of respiratory mechanics after maneuvers raising intra-abdominal pressure in the context of low positive end-expiratory pressure. CASE SUMMARY: We hereby present a case exhibiting this paradoxical physiology during mechanical ventilation for severe COVID-19-associated ARDS and discuss the findings of our physiologic assessment of this condition with invasive pleural manometry performed at the bedside.

conclusionsEven though it is rare, awareness of this intriguing condition is paramount to the critical care physician as the lung mechanics of these patients can deteriorate with traditional treatment strategies.
