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
Refractory hypoxemia following Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) surgery presents a significant clinical challenge. How to improve the refractory hypoxemia after ATAAD surgery is very critical for achiving perfect outcome of these patients. We report two cases of severe hypoxemia after ATAAD surgery that improved with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and prone positioning ventilation (PPV) therapy, despite traditional treatments including ventilator parameter optimization, performance of recruitment maneuvers, administration of glucocorticoids, diuresis and/or CRRT used for maintenance of a negative fluid balance, and secretion aspiration via fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Finally, these two patients were successful weaned from mechanical ventilation and subsequent discharge from the hospital.We provide the successful experience in the application of combination treatment of iNO and PPV in patients with refractory hypoxemia after ATAAD surgery, which will pave the way for the following randomized controlled clinical trials.
