Role of ventilator and ultrasound parameters in predicting extubation success.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The gold standard method for an accurate and easy way to predict successful weaning has not been established. The study was aimed to determine the predictive values of airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), parasternal intercostal muscle, and diaphragm for successful extubation and their correlation with ICU length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation. We recruited patients who had been admitted to ICU and mechanically ventilated for at least 48 h. Patients who had successfully passed the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and planned for extubation were screened. P 0.1 parameter was obtained from the ventilator. We measured parasternal intercostal muscle thickness (PIMT), parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction (PIMTF), diaphragm thickness (DT) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF). Primary outcome was to determine the predictive values of P 0.1, PIMTF & DTF for successful extubation. Of the 126 enrolled patients, 101(80.1%) were successfully extubated and 25 (19.8%) had extubation failure. The predictive thresholds for successful extubation for P 0.1 was 1.8 cm of H
