Predicting early prone position ventilation responsiveness in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome based on electrical impedance tomography: a prospective study.
Observational study in Critical care (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundStudies have demonstrated that over 20% of patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) do not exhibit significant improvement in oxygenation following prone positioning ventilation (PPV). It is vital to investigate the modifiable characteristics associated with PPV, which would facilitate targeted interventions and minimize the adverse effects of PPV. This study aimed to investigate the physiological effects of PPV by using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and to explore the predictors of response to PPV in patients with moderate to severe ARDS during the early phase.
methodsThis is a single-center, prospective, observational study. Ninety-four adult patients who were diagnosed with moderate-to-severe ARDS according to the Berlin definition (PaO
resultsOf the 94 enrolled patients, 78 (83%) were PPV responders and 16 (17%) were nonresponders. Compared to the nonresponders, the respiratory system compliance (Crs) in responders was significantly higher (35.6 ± 7.5 cmH
conclusionFor moderate to severe ARDS patients, the shunt% in ROI 3 before PPV could help to predict the response of PPV during the early phase.
