Management of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Patient With Respiratory Failure in the Intensive Care Unit: A Case Report on the Role of Dexmedetomidine.

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
This clinical case describes the management, in an intensive care unit (ICU), of a patient with a severe form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Level 3, suffering from acute respiratory failure that evolved into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Throughout the entire period of hospitalisation in the ICU, sedation of the patient played a key role in the performance of all invasive and noninvasive therapeutic procedures, in particular artificial ventilation and subsequent weaning, due to the underlying disorder that rendered the patient completely uncooperative. Dexmedetomidine was used during initial admission to the ICU for initial treatment, during the period of artificial ventilation and finally during weaning from mechanical ventilation. The
