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

STUDY

objectivesOur aim was to identify clinical predictors associated with changes in settings for pediatric invasive and noninvasive positive airway pressure therapy, which could help inform the allocation of limited polysomnogram (PSG) resources.

methodsA retrospective review was conducted in children who underwent one or more PSGs for technology titration. Children were included if they were using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) therapy, or invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) the night of the PSG. The primary outcome measure for the study were predictors of change in settings during IPPV, CPAP, and BPAP titration studies.

resultsDuring the study period, 274 children using CPAP, BPAP, or IPPV underwent one or more titration PSGs. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of the children at the time of the first titration PSG was 10.52 (5.11) y. Fifty percent (n = 136) of the study participants were male. Most patients underwent BPAP titration studies (n = 166), followed by CPAP (n = 83) and then IPPV (n = 25). A total of 623 technology titration PSGs were completed. Reason for respiratory technology, type of respiratory technology, and time between ventilation initiation and the PSG were significant predictors of a change in settings in the multivariable regression model.

conclusionsChildren were more likely to have a change in their technology settings during a PSG if there was a shorter period of time from the original technology initiation, if they were using BPAP (as compared to CPAP or IPPV) and/or if they had a primary central nervous system or musculoskeletal diagnosis.
