Indicators of different outcomes after prolonged weaning.
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 4 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 outcomes of prolonged weaning in a specialist weaning centre range from successful weaning to death. We aimed to identify indicators of the different outcomes. We analysed 915 patients who underwent prolonged weaning at Thoraxklinik Heidelberg from Dec. 2008 to Dec. 2023. 73.2% were successfully weaned, 36.1% without (3a) and 37.1% with subsequent non-invasive ventilation (3b). 20.2% were discharged with IMV (3cI) and 6.6% died (3cII). The length of stay was significantly longer in the group discharged with IMV. Patients in weaning category 3a had fewer comorbidities, also as cause of IMV and were less obese (each at least OR ≤ 0.6, p ≤ 0.02). IMV before admission in days was significantly shorter, FiO
