The Use of High-Flow Nasal Cannula and the Timing of Safe Feeding in Children with Bronchiolitis.

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
Objective The use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) as non-invasive respiratory support in children with bronchiolitis has increased over the last several years. Several studies have investigated enteral feeding safety while on HFNC. This study compares the safety of oral feeding prior to and following implementation of an HFNC feeding guideline. Patients and methods A retrospective study was designed, in children ≤2 years of age with bronchiolitis, requiring HFNC, from 2017 to 2019. We defined feeding complications on HFNC and defined safety as the absence of such complications. We gathered the following data: oral feeding timing from the HFNC initiation, duration of enteral feeding on HFNC, and HFNC flow rate at which the feeding was initiated. We compare the data prior to and post-implementation of an HFNC feeding guideline. Results Descriptive statistics were calculated separately by pre and post guideline implementation. Patients in both pre and post guideline implementation groups had no feeding complications on HFNC. Subjects in the post (n=50) vs. pre-guideline implementation (n=36) had a higher median amount of liters flow when initiating enteral feeding (8.0 vs. 6.0 respectively, p<0.024), spent fewer days in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) (two days vs. 0 days). Post guideline implementation, enteral feeding was initiated sooner (days
