The influence of active and passive air humidification on exhaled breath condensate volume.

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
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is safely collected in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients, but there are no guidelines regarding humidification of inhaled air during EBC collection. We investigated the influence of active and passive air humidification on EBC volumes obtained from MV patients. We collected 29 EBC samples from 21 critically ill MV patients with one condition of active humidification and four different conditions of non-humidification; 19 samples from 19 surgical MV patients with passive humidification and two samples from artificial lungs MV with active humidification. The main outcome was the obtained EBC volume per 100 L exhaled air. When collected with different conditions of non-humidification, mean [95% CI] EBC volumes did not differ significantly (1.35 [1.23; 1.46]
