Pediatric Home Mechanical Ventilation in Korea: the Present Situation and Future Strategy.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 number of children using home mechanical ventilation (HMV) has increased markedly in Europe and North America, but little is known about the situation in Korea. We described the clinical characteristics of children using HMV and investigated the current situation of HMV utilization in children.
methodsData on HMV prescriptions in year 2016 for children under the age of 19 was retrieved from the National Health Insurance Service for nationwide information. For more detailed information, data from year 2016 to 2018 was also retrieved from a tertiary center, Severance Children's Hospital.
resultsNationwide, 416 children were prescribed with HMV in 2016, with an estimated prevalence of 4.4 per 100,000 children, of which 64.2% were male and mean age was 6-year-old. The estimated number of patients using invasive ventilators via tracheostomy was 202 (49%). Neuromuscular diseases were the most frequent cause (217; 52%), followed by central nervous system diseases (142; 34%), and cardiopulmonary diseases (57; 14%). In the tertiary center, a total of 62 children were prescribed with HMV (19 [31%] with non-invasive ventilation; 43 [69%] with invasive ventilation]. The number of children with HMV increased from 11 in 2016 to 29 in 2018. The mean age for initiation of HMV was 3.1 years and male patients comprised 65%. The most frequent diagnostic reason for HMV was central nervous system diseases (68%), followed by cardiopulmonary diseases (19%) and neuromuscular diseases (13%). Five patients died during the study period and five patients weaned from HMV.
conclusionThis study provides insights on the present situation of HMV utilization in Korean children.
