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
Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition. ARDS carries a high mortality, and few effective therapeutic modalities exist to combat this condition. The etiology of ARDS can be expected to be different in India due to the higher incidence of tropical infectious diseases. However, not many studies have been done in India on ARDS. This study was planned to evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients with ARDS in a tertiary care hospital in the sub-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, India. Methodology: It was a hospital based prospective study which was conducted in the department of medicine of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College and Hospital, Kangra (at Tanda), a tertiary care referral hospital. Duration of study was 1 year, viz, January 2020 to January 2021. All patients above the age >18 who presented with ARDS satisfying the given definition presenting in Emergency of DRPGMCH Kangra were included in the study. Results: A total of 75 patients with ARDS admitted from emergency in various wards of the hospital after triaging. Our study observed that the cause of ARDS did not have a significant association with severity of ARDS ( Conclusion: ARDS carries a very high mortality, irrespective of the cause and the risk factors that were associated with poor prognosis included older age, female sex, presentation during rainy seasons, high SOFA and APACHE II scores at the time of presentation, requirement of MV, requirement of early inotropes, high PCT levels, low albumin levels, and the severity of ARDS at presentation.
