The effect of 50% oxygen on PtCO
Trial report in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundHigh-concentration oxygen therapy causes increased arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO
methodsThree randomised cross-over trials recruited stable patients with neuromuscular disease or kyphoscoliosis (n = 20), bronchiectasis (n = 24), and COPD (n = 24). Participants were randomised to receive 50% oxygen and 21% oxygen (air), each for 30 min, in randomly assigned order. The primary outcome was transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PtCO
resultsSixty six of the 68 participants had baseline PtCO
conclusionsThe small increase in PtCO
