Efficiency of an electronic device in controlling tracheal cuff pressure in critically ill patients: a randomized controlled crossover study.
Article in Annals of intensive care, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01965821 (Impact of Mallinckrodt Electronic Device on Continuous Control of Tracheal Cuff Pressure), which is not on this 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.

resultsClinical characteristics were similar during the two study periods, as well as mean airway pressure. Percentage of time spent with cuff overinflation or underinflation was significantly lower during continuous control compared with routine care period [median (IQR) 0.8 (0.1, 2) vs 20.9 (3.1, 40.1), p = 0.0009]. No significant difference was found in pepsin [median (IQR) 230 (151, 300) vs 259 (134, 368), p = 0.95] or in alpha amylase level [median (IQR) 1475 (528, 10,333) vs 2400 (1342, 15,391), p = 0.19] between continuous control and routine care periods, respectively.
