Effects of secular changes in tidal volume and respiratory rate on the mechanical power of ventilation: a retrospective single-center study of invasively ventilated patients.
Article in Critical care science, 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
objectiveTo evaluate how secular changes in tidal volume and respiratory rate influence the mechanical power of ventilation during the first 24 hours in critically ill patients over two decades and to compare their effects in patients with high and low respiratory system compliance.
methodsThis secondary analysis of the Amsterdam University Medical Center database included two time periods: 2003 to 2009 and 2010 to 2016. The primary endpoint was mechanical power. Analyses also assessed secular changes in mechanical power in patients with respiratory system compliance groups.
resultsAmong 4,877 patients (2,536 patients in 2003 - 2009, and 2,341 in 2010 - 2016), median tidal volume decreased (mean difference of -0.6 [-0.4 to -0.7] mL/kg predicted body weight; p < 0.01), median respiratory rate increased (mean difference of +1.0 [+0.75 to +1.25] breath/minute; p < 0.01), and median mechanical power fell from 12.1 (8.7 - 16.7) J/minute to 10.4 (7.6 - 14.6) J/minute (mean difference of -1.7 [-1.2 to -2.0] J/minute; p < 0.01). In patients with low respiratory system compliance, median mechanical power decreased more significantly (13.4 J/minute to 11.7 J/minute, mean difference of -1.7 J/minute; p < 0.01) compared to those with high respiratory system compliance (10.5 J/minute to 9.7 J/minute, mean difference of -0.8 J/minute; p < 0.01) despite comparable respiratory rate changes.
conclusionIn this single-center cohort, secular changes in tidal volume and respiratory rate were associated with lower mechanical power, particularly in patients with low respiratory system compliance.
