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

objectiveCurrent delivery room (DR) resuscitation utilizes pressure-limited devices without tidal volume (TV) measurements. Clinicians use chest expansion as a surrogate, which is a poor indicator of TV. TV in early life can be highly variable due to rapidly changing lung compliance. Our objectives were to assess feasibility of measuring TV in DR, and to report the generated TV in intubated patients. STUDY

designProspective, observational, feasibility study in infants <32 weeks GA and intubated in DR. TV was measured using a respiratory function monitor.

resultTen infants with mean GA 23.9(±1.5) weeks and mean BW 618.5(±155) gram were included. Total of 178 min (mean 17.8 min/patient) with 8175 individual breaths (mean 817.5 breaths/patient) were analyzed. Goal TV of 4-6 ml/kg was provided 23.5% of times with high TV (>6 ml/kg) provided 47.7% of times.

conclusionTV measurement in DR is feasible. It is associated with high intra and inter-patient variability.
