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

Different types of patient triggered ventilator modes have become the mainstay of ventilation in term and preterm newborn infants. Maintaining spontaneous breathing has allowed for earlier weaning and the additive effects of respiratory efforts combined with pre-set mechanical inflations have reduced mean airway pressures, both of which are important components in trying to avoid lung injury and promote normal lung development. New sophisticated modes of assisted ventilation have been developed during the last decades where the control of ventilator support is turned over to the patient. The ventilator detects the respiratory effort and adjusts ventilatory assistance proportionally to each phase of the respiratory cycle, thus enabling the patient to have full control of the start, the duration and the amount of ventilatory assistance. In this paper we will review the literature on the ventilatory modes of proportional assist ventilation and neurally adjusted ventilatory assistance, examine the different ways the signals are analyzed, propose future studies, and suggest ways to apply these modes in the clinical environment.
