Practice of ventilation in critically ill pediatric patients: protocol for an international, long-term, observational study, and results of the pilot feasibility study.

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
objectiveThis manuscript describes the protocol of an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, long-term, prospective observational study named PRactice of VENTilation in PEDiatric Patients (PRoVENT-PED), designed to investigate the epidemiology, respiratory support practices and outcomes of critically ill pediatric patients.
designData will be collected biannually over 10 years during predefined 4-week intervals, with an additional optional period to accommodate data collection during an epidemic or pandemic. The specific focus of PRoVENT-PED will evolve as the study progresses, initially emphasizing collecting detailed ventilator data from invasively ventilated patients. In later phases, the focus will shift to noninvasive respiratory support and typical aspects of respiratory support, like patient-ventilator asynchronies, weaning practices, and rescue therapies, as extracorporeal support. PRoVENT-PED includes patients under 18 years of age, admitted to a participating intensive care unit, and receiving respiratory support. The endpoints vary with the focus in each phase but will always include a set of key settings and ventilation parameters and related outcomes. If applicable, potentially modifiable factors and associations with outcomes will be studied. The pilot feasibility study demonstrated that the electronic capturing system effectively collects all necessary data within a reasonable time limit, with little missing data.
conclusionPRoVENT-PED is a 10-year, international, multicenter study focused on collecting data on respiratory support practices in critically ill pediatric patients. Its scope evolves from invasive to noninvasive ventilatory support, ultimately encompassing patient-ventilator asynchronies, weaning practices, and rescue therapies.
