Nebulizers versus pressurized metered-dose inhalers in preschool children with wheezing.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
questionIn my office, I frequently encounter children with wheezing. When I prescribe inhaled bronchodilators for preschool children, what is the recommended method of delivery--a nebulizer or a spacer? ANSWER: The pressurized metered-dose inhaler with a spacer is an effective method of delivering inhaled drugs to young children. Children younger than 5 years of age will require the additional use of a face mask. It is best to give aerosolized medications when a child is awake. Efforts to optimize the child's cooperation with medication administration by using a spacer with an appropriate mouthpiece or face mask will also improve drug delivery.
