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

Bedside lung ultrasound may be an effective method for the assessment of lung recruitment in newborns with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report a case of a neonate who had severe hypoxemia with persistent pulmonary hypertension and massive pneumothorax due to meconium aspiration syndrome and was treated with ECMO. Positive pressure mechanical ventilation resulted in persistent massive air leakage from the disrupted pulmonary tissue. When ECMO was initiated, a "total lung rest" ventilation strategy was used to facilitate healing of the lung rupture and absorption of the pneumothorax. After complete absorption of the pneumothorax, lung recruitment was performed by progressively increasing the positive end-expiratory pressure under the guidance of lung ultrasound. Bedside lung ultrasound was successfully used to assess pneumothorax absorption and improvement of pulmonary inflammation and successfully guided the recruitment of collapsed alveoli and the withdrawal of ECMO.
