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.

Abstract

purposeEffective strategies to prevent weaning failure and prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients at high risk of weaning failure are limited. We evaluated a structured, specialist-led interprofessional weaning program.

methodsIn this prospective, multicenter, non-randomized interventional study, mechanically ventilated patients were screened 96 h to 11 days after intubation. Patients meeting predefined high-risk criteria received a specialist-led interprofessional weaning program, while a parallel control group was derived from health insurance claims data. The primary outcome was successful weaning at ICU discharge.

resultsThe primary analysis included 349 intervention patients and 1,768 controls. Successful weaning occurred in 58.3% of intervention patients and 51.7% of controls. In the adjusted primary analysis, the odds ratio for successful weaning was 1.46 (95% CI, 0.99-2.17; P = 0.057), and the difference did not reach statistical significance. In prespecified propensity score-matched analysis, successful weaning occurred in 58.3% of intervention patients and 46.4% of matched controls (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.61-5.24; P < 0.001). An exploratory analysis restricted to ICU survivors also showed higher odds of successful weaning in the intervention group (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.09-4.04; P = 0.026). Overall, 16.3% of intervention patients were transferred to a specialized weaning center. These patients had longer ventilation durations, contributing to a longer overall duration of IMV in the intervention group.

conclusionsThe PRiVENT intervention was feasible and successful weaning was numerically more frequent in the intervention group, although the prespecified adjusted primary analysis did not reach statistical significance. These findings suggest a potential benefit of structured, multidisciplinary weaning support.
