A Multicenter Retrospective Study Predicting Early Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Patients With Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure.
Article in The clinical respiratory journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundVolume OXygenation (VOX) index has good efficacy in predicting the failure of high-flow nasal cannula therapy. However, its predictive value for treatment failure in patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV) remains uncertain.
methodsPatients who underwent early NIV treatment were grouped based on their 2-h NIV VOX Youden index. The low-risk group consisted of patients with a VOX value > 20.45 (n = 188), while the high-risk group included those with a VOX value ≤ 20.45 (n = 200). Baseline data and arterial blood gas values were collected at 2, 12, and 24 h after NIV initiation.
resultsCompared to the low-risk group, the high-risk group exhibited higher SOFA scores, respiratory rates, and heart rates, along with a lower oxygenation index (P/F) (all p < 0.05). Following NIV treatment, the low-risk group showed a more significant increase in P/F values at 2 h, 12 h, and 24 h after NIV initiation. The low-risk group showed a lower VT and MV (minute ventilation volume) at 2 h, 12 h, and 24 h of NIV (p < 0.05). Moreover, the low-risk group had a lower intubation rate (7.98% vs. 77%, p < 0.05) and mortality rate (4.79% vs. 17.5%, p < 0.05). At 2 h of NIV, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting NIV failure using the VOX index was 0.843 (95% CI 0.805-0.882). Using a VOX value threshold of 20.45 to predict NIV failure, the sensitivity was 69.1%, and the specificity was 94.4%. Furthermore, a VOX value ≤ 20.45 was identified as an independent risk factor for tracheal intubation and death.
conclusionsVOX index shows promise to serve as an effective evaluation index to predict early NIV efficacy in patients with AHRF; a VOX value > 20.45 after 2 h of NIV treatment can better predict improvements in hypoxia, respiratory drive, and NIV outcomes, guide early tracheal intubation in cases of NIV failure, and have a certain predictive effect on patient outcomes.
