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

objectiveWe performed a prospective, randomized clinical trial to compare the usefulness of the minute ventilation test (MVT) with clinical judgement in predicting readiness for extubation in preterm newborns with respiratory distress syndrome requiring surfactant therapy and mechanical ventilation. STUDY

designA total of 42 preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome were randomized when they reached preselected ventilator settings. The primary outcome measure was the time from study entry to extubation, provided the infant remained extubated for at least 24 hours.

resultsInfants evaluated by the MVT were extubated in a significantly shorter period of time (mean of 8 hours) than those evaluated clinically (mean of 36 hours). The extubation failure rate was similar in the two groups.

conclusionThe MVT is an easily performed objective measure that can be used to predict readiness for extubation in preterm infants. In this study, it significantly shortened the time for extubation and was not associated with a higher rate of reintubation.
