Noninvasive ventilation initiation in clinical practice: A six-year prospective, observational study.
Article in Canadian respiratory journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDespite evidence supporting the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in diverse populations, few publications describe how NIV is used in clinical practice.
objectiveTo describe NIV initiation in a teaching hospital that has a guideline, and to characterize temporal changes in NIV initiation over time.
methodsA prospective, observational study of continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) or bilevel NIV initiation from January 2000 to December 2005 was conducted. Registered respiratory therapists completed a one-page data collection form at NIV initiation.
resultsOver a six-year period, NIV was initiated in 623 unique patients (531 bilevel NIV, 92 CPAP). Compared with bilevel NIV, CPAP was initiated more often using a nasal interface, with a machine owned by the patient, and for chronic conditions, especially obstructive sleep apnea. Whereas CPAP was frequently initiated and continued on the wards, bilevel NIV was most frequently initiated and continued in the emergency department, intensive care unit and the coronary care unit. Patients initiated on bilevel NIV were more likely to be female (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.08 to 2.85; P=0.02) and to have an acute indication compared with CPAP initiations (OR 7.5, 95% CI 1.61 to 34.41; P=0.01). Bilevel NIV was initiated more often in the emergency department than in the intensive care unit (OR 5.8, 95% CI 0.89 to 38.17; P=0.07). Bilevel NIV initiation increased from 2000 to 2005.
conclusionsThe present study illustrates how NIV is used in clinical practice and confirms that NIV initiation has increased over time.
