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

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in the supportive treatment of acute respiratory failure in children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). However, finding an optimal fitting commercial available NIV face mask is one of the major challenges in daily practice, in particular for young children and those with specific facial features. Large air leaks and pressure-related skin injury due to suboptimal fit are important complications associated with NIV failure. Here, we describe a case of a 4-year old boy with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and rhinovirus-associated hypoxic acute respiratory failure who was successfully supported with NIV delivered by a simple anesthetic mask connected to a headgear by an in-house developed and 3D printed adaptor. This case is an example of the clinical challenge related to pediatric NIV masks in the PICU, but also shows the potential of alternative NIV interfaces e.g., by using a widely available and relatively cheap simple anesthetic mask. Further personalized strategies (e.g., by using 3D scanning and printing techniques) that optimize NIV mask fitting in children are warranted.
