Risk prediction model for difficulty in weaning from mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients: results from a multicentre retrospective study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesWe aimed to establish a diagnostic system using retrospective data to predict difficult wean from mechanical ventilation.
designA multicentre retrospective study
settingFive tertiary hospitals from China.
participantsCritically ill patients received mechanical ventilation between January 2018 and December 2022. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary endpoint was success weaning from mechanical ventilation (>48 hours), reintubation or death, whichever occurred first.
resultsAmong 1365 initially screened patients, 703 patients (median age: 69 years; 63.02% male) were included. From 42 factors, 22 (p≤0.10) were identified for multivariate analysis. Subsequently, the lung injury score, brain natriuretic peptide level at 24 hours, 24 hour fluid balance, use of dexmedetomidine, spontaneous breathing trial (continuous positive airway pressure vs other) and endotracheal tube reinsertion were included in the predictive model. The area under the curve value was 0.8888 (95% CI: 0.8382, 0.9394). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, likelihood ratio (LR)+ and LR- were 0.7559, 0.875, 0.9746, 0.3608, 0.7721, 6.0743 and 0.279, respectively. We established a nomogram model based on the optimal model.
conclusionsA model with six factors was established to predict difficult wean from mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients. However, the model should be verified in future well-designed studies before being extended to other populations.
