Evaluating the Association of Extubation Readiness Testing Performance Variables With Reintubation After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Respiratory care, 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
backgroundPatient performance on extubation readiness tests (ERTs) informs the decision to extubate after cardiac surgery. ERT pass criteria at our center include age-based breathing frequencies and weight-adjusted tidal volumes (V
methodsThis was an observational, retrospective cohort study involving children <18 years of age receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for >24 h after cardiac surgery for Society of Thoracic Surgery (STAT) Mortality category ≥3 from May 2022 to April 2024. The primary outcome was extubation failure. The secondary outcome was the interval between the first passed ERT and extubation. Factors associated with re-intubation were explored using univariate and multivariable analyses.
resultsTwo hundred sixty-eight subjects met inclusion criteria with a median (interquartile range) age of 58.5 (6.1-210.2) days and weight of 4.2 (3.3-7.5) kg. Thirty (11.2%) subjects experienced extubation failure. These subjects had a higher breathing frequency during the ERT (42 [36-52] vs 36 [28-44] breaths/min,
conclusionsThere was no association between the final ERT breathing frequency, V
