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

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a promising imaging tool in critical care. Its capacity to provide noninvasive bedside visualization of regional ventilation and perfusion with high temporal resolution makes it an ideal monitoring modality for patients on ventilation. However, its widespread implementation has been hindered by physical limitations in spatial resolution and a lack of robust evidence linking its use to improved clinical outcomes. In recent years, the commercialization of several bedside devices has led to growing clinical experience, gradually yielding concrete evidence regarding its clinical utility. Furthermore, beyond respiratory monitoring, data are increasingly accumulating in non-pulmonary fields, including perfusion, neuro-critical care and gastroenterology. Therefore, the objective of this review is to synthesize emerging evidence regarding the recent clinical applications of electrical impedance tomography and discuss future perspectives.
