Comparison of two different recruitment maneuver patterns in ARDS patients.
Article in Intensive care medicine experimental, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe differential effects of the two most commonly investigated recruitment maneuvers (RMs), i.e., sigh recruitment and sustained inflation, have not been fully investigated yet. This study aimed to compare the effects of these two RMs on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-derived lung volumes on mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.
resultsThis is a two-period two-sequence randomized crossover study. Two RMs were tested in randomized sequence: a sigh recruitment (one minute with a PEEP of 5 cmH
conclusionNeither a sigh recruitment nor a sustained inflation maneuvers had clinically significant effect on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, hemodynamics or EIT-derived lung volume distribution within the first 30 min after their application.
