Nasal CPAP on paediatric air transport in the Canadian Arctic: A case series.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsPaediatric transport in remote regions of Canada represents a huge challenge given the acuity of the patients, immense distances, weather and lack of road infrastructure. Transport of patients in the Baffin region of Nunavut is completed entirely by air transport. Two very common paediatric transports are in regards to lower respiratory tract infections and premature deliveries in small rural communities north of Iqaluit. Recently, the advent of noninvasive ventilation has been introduced to the region.
methodWe report five cases of long-distance air transport of paediatric patients in respiratory distress using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). Two cases involve lower respiratory tract infections, and three cases involve neonates (two premature infants and one term infant).
resultsOverall, these cases highlight effective and safe use of noninvasive ventilation in air transport of patients in respiratory distress and demonstrate how this modality can improve patient transport in rural and remote regions.
