Role of lung ultrasound in assessing positive end expiratory pressure induced lung recruitment in patients on mechanical ventilation.
Article in World journal of critical care medicine, 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
backgroundLung ultrasonography is being increasingly used in mechanically ventilated patients to evaluate the lung aeration during incremental positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjustments and to evaluate the weaning process from mechanical ventilation. The effects of PEEP may vary across different lung pathologies and may not consistently correlate with changes in lung aeration as assessed by lung ultrasound scores (LUSs).
aimTo assess the role of lung ultrasonography in evaluating lung aeration during the application of PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients with various lung pathologies.
methodsAn observational study was conducted over 18 months in a tertiary care hospital. Patients of both genders, aged between 18-75 years, who had been admitted to the intensive care unit, and required mechanical ventilation, were studied. A standard ventilatory strategy was used and incremental levels of PEEP [5, 10, and 15 cm water (H
resultsIn this study, 45.9% of patients required a PEEP of 5 cm H
conclusionIncreasing PEEP levels in mechanically ventilated patients improves lung aeration, which can be effectively assessed using bedside lung ultrasonography.
