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

Systematic study in animals indicated, that in addition to cough there are 2 distinct airway reflexes. The aspiration reflex (AspR) characterized by rapid and strong gasp-like inspiration provoked by stimulation of nasopharynx, nasal phyltrum or auricle of ear. The expiration reflex (ExpR) manifests by prompt expiration, induced by laryngeal stimulation. Both reflexes strongly activate the brainstem inspiratory or expiratory generators, respectively, and inhibit the opposite respiratory and various functional disorders. This paper indicates several functional disorders occurring during manipulation with airways in anaesthesiological practice, which can be influenced positively or negatively by application of these special reflexes (asphyxia, breath-holding, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, sleep apnoea episodes, arrhythmia, collapse, etc.). The AspR, ExpR and CR (cough reflex) have important clinical relevance in anaesthesia and emergency medicine applicable also in domestic therapy and in hardly accessible places particularly by application of ICT (Information & Communication Technologies) using a mobile connection of the patient with the remote hospital centre.
