Noninvasive ventilation in life-threatening asthma: A case series.
Article in Canadian journal of respiratory therapy : CJRT = Revue canadienne de la therapie respiratoire : RCTR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in severe acute asthma is controversial. A pH < 7.25, PaCO
methodsFollowing institutional review board approval, the medical records of subjects who received NIV for acute asthma in the emergency department between January 2010 and July 2012 were reviewed. Subjects were included if they had a pH < 7.25 or PCO
resultsSixty-two subjects received NIV for asthma, with 20 (mean age 42 ± 12 years, 62% male) meeting the inclusion criteria. Intubation was avoided in all 20 subjects, including nine (45%) with prior history of intubation due to asthma, eight (40%) who were obtunded, and three (15%) who were unresponsive upon arrival. Results are described as medians (ranges). Initial blood gas (80% venous) results were: pH 7.16 (6.89-7.27), PCO
conclusionWe identified a small series of asthma patients with severe respiratory acidosis or altered mental status in whom NIV was safe and effective.
