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

purposeTo demonstrate efficient aerosol delivery through an in vitro nasal model using a dry powder inhaler (DPI) requiring low actuation air volumes (LV) applied during low-flow nasal cannula (LFNC) therapy.

methodsA previously developed LV-DPI was connected to a LFNC system with 4 mm diameter tubing. System connections and the nasal cannula interface were replaced with streamlined components. To simulate nasal respiration, an in vitro nasal model was connected to a downstream lung simulator that produced either passive or deep nasal respiration. Performance of a commercial mesh nebulizer system was also considered.

resultsFor the optimized system, steady state cannula emitted dose was 75% of the capsule loaded dose. With cyclic nasal breathing, delivery efficiency to the tracheal filter was 53-55% of the loaded dose, which was just under the design target of 60%. Compared with a commercially available mesh nebulizer, the optimal LV-DPI was 40-fold more efficient and 150 times faster in terms of delivering aerosol to the lungs.

conclusionsThe optimized LV-DPI system is capable of high efficiency lung delivery of powder aerosols through a challenging nasal cannula interface.
