Correlation of mechanical power and outcome in critically ill patients in Indian population: A prospective observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2026. 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
Background and Aims: Mechanical ventilation is a cornerstone in managing acute respiratory failure, yet, it can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury. This study investigated the relationship between mechanical power (MP) and 28-day mortality in critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Methods: A single-centre, prospective observational study was conducted, involving 102 mechanically ventilated patients in a tertiary care intensive care unit (ICU). Patient characteristics, ventilator parameters, and clinical scores {Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)} were recorded. MP was calculated at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and its correlation with mortality and other clinical outcomes was analysed using logistic regression. Results: The cohort had a median age of 40.5 years, with a mortality rate of 37.3% within 28 days. Higher baseline MP values (23.90 J/min vs. 19.0 J/min, Conclusion: This study highlights MP as a critical factor in assessing mortality risk in mechanically ventilated patients. Elevated MP correlates with increased mortality. Monitoring MP in addition to already established parameters can predict the outcome of patients on mechanical ventilation. Future research should explore MP and its implications for ventilation practices in diverse patient populations.
