Workplace NO and NO2 during combined treatment of infants with nasal CPAP and NO.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo determine the workplace concentrations of NO and NO(2) in and around a paediatric incubator during inhaled NO (iNO) treatment and during an accidental emptying of NO cylinders into room air.
designWe simulated iNO-nasal CPAP treatment in order to assess the impact on the occupational environment. Furthermore, two full NO cylinders for therapy, 1,000 ppm, 20 litres, 150 bar and 400 ppm, 10 litres, 150 bar, were emptied as rapidly as possible into an intensive care unit (ICU) room.
settingUniversity hospital ICU. MEASUREMENTS AND
resultsTo correctly gauge the contribution from iNO-CPAP we constructed a system measuring breathing zone and room ventilation inlet-outlet values during a 10-ppm iNO treatment of a simulated infant. Maximal breathing zone values were 17.9 +/- 7.0 (mean +/- 95% CI) ppb for NO and 25.2 +/- 4.8 ppb for NO(2). If room inlet values were subtracted, the contributions to breathing zone values emanating from iNO-CPAP were 14.8 +/- 4.6 ppb for NO and 14.6 +/- 4.6 ppb for NO(2). At the ventilation outlet the maximal contributions were 4.2 +/- 2.9 ppb NO and 9.6 +/- 4.3 ppb NO(2). During rapid total release of a gas cylinder in the ICU room, simulating an accident, we found transient NO levels comparable to the high therapeutic dosing range, but only low NO(2) levels.
conclusionsNeither 8-h time-weighted average (TWA) nor 15 min short-term exposure limits (STEL) were exceeded during normal operation or during a simulated accident. The contribution of nitrogen oxides from treatment to workplace air were minor compared to those from ambient air.
