1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to map the intellectual structure, evolution, and emerging trends in research on airway pressure-based indexes for monitoring inspiratory effort. Methods: Systematic searches of the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) and Pubmed were performed for publications dated between 1990 and 2025. Bibliometric parameters, including publication trends, country and affiliation contributions, author influence, journal distribution, keyword co-occurrence, and reference co-citation networks, were analyzed using Bibliometrix and CiteSpace. Results: The analysis included 291 publications from WOSCC. The annual publication output showed a near U-shaped trend, with an initial decline after the 1990s, followed by a strong resurgence after 2011. Italy was the most productive country, followed by the USA and France. The Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale emerged as the leading institution. The journal Chest published the most articles, while the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine had the highest total citations. Laurent Brochard was identified as the most prolific and influential author. Keyword analysis highlighted "occlusion pressure" and "mechanical ventilation" as core themes. Reference co-citation clustering revealed major research domains, including "acute respiratory distress syndrome," "self-inflicted lung injury," and "nasal high flow." Burst detection analysis indicated that "respiratory drive," "lung injury," and "critically ill patients" are emerging research frontiers. Complementary analysis of 242 PubMed clinical studies confirmed these trends and highlighted growing clinical focus on "fluid responsiveness" and "amyotrophic lateral sclerosis." Conclusion: Research on airway pressure-based indices has evolved from physiological studies into a crucial clinical tool for respiratory monitoring. The field exhibits strong international collaboration and emphasizes core areas, including acute respiratory failure and lung-protective ventilation. Analysis of clinical study data confirms these trends and highlights emerging applications in the assessment of fluid responsiveness and neuromuscular disorders. These findings support the ongoing development of personalized ventilation strategies based on monitoring respiratory effort.
