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
introductionNoninvasive ventilation (NIV) has revolutionized the initial respiratory support provided to a patient in respiratory distress presenting to emergency department. Standardization of NIV practices and safety has always been a matter of concern and debate in emergency medicine. In this study, we tried to assess the clinical outcome of NIV in respiratory failures of varied etiologies. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was conducted from August 2017 to August 2018 at our emergency department which is a tertiary care teaching institute. All patients presenting to the ED with shortness of breath were screened for acute respiratory failure and enrolled after confirming the inclusion criteria.
resultsOut of the 236 patients presenting with acute respiratory failure, 182 fulfilled the study criteria. However, 154 patients with a mean age of 55.19 + 16.73 years were enrolled in the study. Bilevel PAP was initiated in 103 patients whereas 51 patients received CPAP. 115 (74.67%) NIV trials were successful whereas 36 (23.37%) patients had to be intubated. 32 patients died among the study group among which 3 had not consented for intubation. The in-hospital mortality has been 20.77% whereas the percentage of NIV failure with consequent intubation was 25.32%.
conclusionIn conclusion, our study shows that NIV is not only safe and efficacious but also significantly brings down the requirement of endotracheal intubations and its complications provided proper patient selection and close monitoring is assured.
