[BIPAP-mask-ventilation in terminal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)].
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, neuromuscular disease without any curative therapy at the moment. Non-invasive BIPAP-ventilation has proven to be helpful to cope with the increasing hypoventilation due to weakness in ventilatory muscles in ALS. If BIPAP-ventilation is well tolerated by the patient, it can be very helpful for symptom control in palliative homecare. In this case presentation we discuss how non-invasive ventilation can influence perception of dying at home and thereby quality of life of patients, caregivers and members of palliative teams. We will see that especially during this sensible terminal phase various questions and fears concerning the mechanically assisted ventilation may arise. These issues should be addressed in advance with careful attention and information. Members of palliative teams should therefore be provided with good training and regular supervision.
