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

backgroundProphylactic noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) reduces reintubation in endotracheal intubation patients. However, the efficacy of using the prophylactic NPPV in the weaning of tracheotomy patients is unclear.

methodsWe performed prophylactic NPPV in 11 tracheotomy patients who passed a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), removed the tracheotomy tube, and closed the incision (intervention group). We matched another 11 tracheotomy patients who also passed an SBT but weaning and removing of tracheotomy tube were managed as conventional methods (control group).

resultsPatients in the control group had reinstitution of mechanical ventilation 36 times after the initial SBT success. Compared with the control group, the interventional group had fewer weaning days (3.0±2.1

conclusionsProphylactic NPPV may be useful to accelerate weaning, and shorten ICU stay after initial SBT success in tracheotomy patients.
