Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome-Related Challenges in Acute Respiratory Failure.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a condition commonly found in severely obese patients in which they fail to breathe deeply or rapidly enough to offset the body's need for oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release. This report presents a case of a 49-year-old super-super-morbid obese female with a body mass index (BMI) of 90 kilogram per meter squared (kg/m²), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and end-stage cor pulmonale, who was brought to the emergency department for altered mental status and requiring emergent airway due to respiratory failure secondary to OHS. The continued increase in rates of obesity worldwide, especially in those with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m², may lead to an increase in the incidence of OHS. With comorbidities secondary to obesity and associated complexity, this medically challenging case emphasizes the need for refined management strategies in caring for OHS in super-super-morbidly obese patients.
