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

introductionThe use of concurrent aerosol delivery during high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) may be exploited to facilitate delivery of a variety of prescribed medications for inhalation. The study assessed the effect of tidal volume, breath rate, and inspiratory:expiratory (I:E) ratio on the quantity of aerosol captured at the level of the trachea during simulated HFNT.

methodsTesting was completed according to a factorial statistical design of experiments (DOE) approach. Tracheal dose was characterized with a vibrating mesh nebulizer (Aerogen Solo, Aerogen Ltd) using simulated adult, small child, and infant HFNT models. Furthermore, aerosol delivery was evaluated across a range of adult patient profiles with clinically representative test setups.

resultsAerosol delivery increased with a large tidal volume, a rapid breath rate, and a long inspiratory time. Tidal volume, breath rate, and I:E ratio each had a significant effect on tracheal dose across simulated adult, small child, and infant breathing.

conclusionThe main trends that were identified in the statistical DOE predicted aerosol delivery across adult patient breathing profiles, in terms of tidal volume, breath rate, and I:E ratio. Therefore, patients with distressed breathing profiles may be expected to receive a larger aerosol dose than those with normal breathing rates.
