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

objectiveTo explore the risk factors associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the patients with chest trauma in the intensive care unit (ICU).

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 124 adult trauma patients admitted to the surgical ICU of Peking University People' s Hospital between June 2019 and June 2023. These patients underwent tra-cheal intubation within 24 hours of admission and received mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. Based on whether VAP occurred during hospitalization, the patients were divided into a VAP group (46 cases) and a non-VAP group (78 cases). Lasso regression analysis was employed for variable selection, followed by Logistic regression analysis to determine the risk factors for VAP in these patients with chest trauma in the ICU.

resultsThe multivariate regression analysis indicated that the injury severity score (ISS) (

conclusionThe occurrence of VAP in the patients with chest trauma in the ICU was influenced by multiple factors. This study identified that a higher ISS and the presence of a tracheostomy were independent risk factors for VAP in these patients. These findings suggest that in clinical practice, special attention should be given to the chest trauma patients with high ISS scores, and the timing and necessity of tracheostomy should be carefully considered to reduce the incidence of VAP and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of early identification and appropriate management of the patients at higher risk for developing VAP. By recognizing the significance of these risk factors, healthcare providers can implement targeted interventions and preventive measures, such as optimizing ventilation strategies and enhancing infection control practices. Future research should further explore additional factors that may influence the occurrence of VAP and verify these findings to provide stronger evidence for the prevention and treatment of VAP. Additionally, multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these results and develop comprehensive guidelines for managing the chest trauma patients in the ICU.
