Use of Noninvasive vs Invasive Ventilation for Patients Hospitalized With Acute Exacerbation of COPD, 2010 to 2019.
Article in American journal of critical care : an official publication, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAcute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) contribute to morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV), a resource-intensive intervention, decreases mortality and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation.
objectiveTo study NIV and mechanical ventilation use, NIV failure, and hospital NIV case volumes for inpatients with AECOPD from 2010 to 2019.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study used the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2010-2019) for adults (≥40 years old) hospitalized for AECOPD. Rates of NIV and mechanical ventilation use and NIV failure were compared per year. Multivariable hierarchical regression models were used. Hospital case volumes of NIV use (overall and for patients with AECOPD) were compared across years.
resultsPatients with AECOPD accounted for 3.35% of admissions in 2010 and 3.20% in 2019. Risk-adjusted rate (95% CI) of mechanical ventilation use decreased from 6.0% (5.6%-6.4%) to 4.5% (4.2%-4.8%); NIV use increased from 6.2% (5.6%-6.9%) to 10.9% (9.9%-12.0%). Noninvasive ventilation failure rate (95% CI) decreased from 7.8% (6.9%-8.7%) to 5.6% (5.0%-6.2%). Mean (SD) hospital case volume for NIV increased overall from 207.3 (237.0) in 2010 to 360.4 (447.4) in 2019 (P < .001); for patients with AECOPD, from 39.5 (37.8) to 79.0 (78.7) (P < .001).
conclusionsFrom 2010 to 2019, mechanical ventilation use and NIV failure decreased; NIV use and hospital NIV case volumes increased. These results indicate greater need for monitored beds, equipment, and trained staff.
