Clinical applications of blood gas analysis: a comparative review of arterial and venous blood gas monitoring in critical care.
Article in Acute and critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Blood gas analysis is an essential diagnostic tool used for assessing acid-base balance, ventilation, and oxygenation in critically ill patients. Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) remains the gold standard, primarily due to its accuracy in measuring oxygenation. Venous blood gas analysis (VBGA), in contrast, serves as a less invasive alternative and is particularly useful for evaluating acid-base status and metabolic function. Important parameters such as oxygen saturation of central venous blood (ScvO₂) and venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide pressure difference (∆pv-aCO₂) provide critical insights into hemodynamic status, cardiac output, and tissue perfusion. Although VBGA cannot replace ABGA for the precise assessment of oxygenation, it remains a valuable tool in clinical scenarios involving hemodynamic monitoring, shock management, and critical care decision-making.
