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

objectiveSevere periictal respiratory depression is thought to be linked to risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) but its determinants are largely unknown. Interindividual differences in the interictal ventilatory response to CO

methodsInterictal HCVR was measured by a respiratory gas analyzer using a modified rebreathing technique. Minute ventilation (V

resultsSixty-eight subjects completed HCVR testing in 151 ± (standard deviation) 58 seconds, without any serious adverse events. HCVR slope ranged from -0.94 to 5.39 (median 1.71) L/min/mm Hg. HCVR slope correlated with the degree of unpleasantness and intensity of dyspnea and was inversely related to baseline ETCO SIGNIFICANCE: Measurement of the HCVR is well tolerated and can be performed rapidly and safely at the bedside in the EMU. A subset of individuals has a very low sensitivity to CO
