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
backgroundNoninvasive Ventilation (NIV) is a well-established treatment for Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) in hematological cancer. However, the NIV impact on mortality in patients with solid tumors is unclear.
objectiveTo define the factors associated with NIV failure and mortality and to describe the mortality risk of patients with solid tumors requiring NIV for ARF treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsA retrospective cohort study of patients with solid tumors admitted into an ICU between Jan 2016 and Dec 2017, for cancer treatment, with ARF diagnosis that had used the NIV as first-line treatment. Our primary outcome was ICU and in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was NIV failure. A Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify variables associated with mortality and NIV failure. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to demonstrate cumulative survival.
resultsA total of 226 patients with solid tumors were included. The ICU and hospital mortality rates were 57.5% and 69.5%, respectively. NIV failed in 52.2% of the patients. The use of vasopressors (HR 2.48 [95% CI: 1.43-4.30] p = 0.001), baseline lactate (HR 1.20 [95% CI: 1.07-1.35] p = 0.003), baseline PaO
conclusionsNIV failure was independently associated with an increase in both ICU and hospital mortality rates. In patients with NIV therapy indication, the duration of this intervention was associated with NIV failure.
