Efficiency of a Protective Mode of Mechanical Ventilation in Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Complicated by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTreatment of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major challenge in neurocritical care. The functional state of the brain largely depends on the applied ventilation strategy. Many patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), for which lung-protective ventilation is recommended. However, its effect on outcomes in severe TBI remains unclear. This study aimed to assess whether a lung-protective ventilation strategy improves short-term outcomes in patients with severe TBI complicated by ARDS.
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study included patients with severe TBI and ARDS treated in three Ukrainian tertiary hospitals. Lung-protective ventilation was defined as the use of a low tidal volume and moderate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality; secondary endpoints included the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and intracranial pressure (ICP) on day 28. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with mortality.
resultsMortality did not depend on arterial PaO
conclusionsLung-protective ventilation is safe and effective in severe TBI with ARDS, significantly improving short-term survival without compromising cerebral outcomes.
