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

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is a type of mechanical ventilation that does not require an artificial airway. Studies published in the 1990s that evaluated the efficacy of this technique for the treatment of diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure have generalized its use in recent years. Important issues include the selection of the ventilation interface and the type of ventilator. Currently available interfaces include nasal, oronasal and facial masks, mouthpieces and helmets. Comparisons of the available interfaces have not shown one to be clearly superior. Both critical care ventilators and portable ventilators can be used for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation; however, the choice of ventilator type depends on the patient's condition and therapeutic requirements and on the expertise of the attending staff and the location of care. The best results (decreased need for intubation and decreased mortality) have been reported among patients with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
