2024 Year in Review: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia.
Review in Respiratory care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Mechanical ventilation is essential for supporting critically ill patients but increases the risk of bacterial colonization resulting from instrumental, biological, and practice-related factors. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a common complication, is linked to prolonged mechanical ventilation and poor outcomes. Although decades of research have emphasized prevention through care bundles and best practices, VAP remains a significant concern. This review highlights current evidence and emerging strategies for VAP prevention and management in 2024, with practical relevance for respiratory therapists caring for mechanically ventilated adult patients.
