Weaning management in a patient with heart dysfunction: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 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
Background: Patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation face the risks of reintubation. Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), including T-piece (SBT-T) and pressure support (SBT-P), are commonly used to assess extubation readiness. Current guidelines favor the use of SBT-P. Weaning-induced pulmonary edema (WIPO) is common after extubation, which could lead to extubation failure. Case: We report the case of a patient on ventilation who failed the first extubation attempt following successful SBT-P due to WIPO. SBT-T was implemented for the patient in the second weaning attempt. Methods: During the subsequent SBT-T, signs of WIPO recurred. Instead of terminating the trial, we managed the patient with intensive monitoring, fluid management, and blood pressure control. Result: After targeted interventions, this patient was successfully extubated during the second weaning attempt. Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of SBT-T in unmasking WIPO risk in weaning patients with cardiac dysfunction. By enabling proactive management during the trial, SBT-T may enhance safety in high-risk populations.
