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

This example of an 80-year-old patient with severe lung disease and respiratory failure demonstrates the difficult relationship between the patient's needs, physical symptoms, and social problems. This man decides after a prolonged and difficult in-patient treatment actively for home ventilation rather than die of respiratory failure. He opts for tracheostomy and invasive ventilation because he cannot handle non-invasive mask-ventilation sufficiently by himself. It requires professional communication and support to gain the acceptance of family and caregivers for home ventilation. A survey of existing data on end of life decision-making in end-stage lung disease is given.
