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
Measurement of respiratory impedance ([Formula: see text]) in intubated patients requires accurate compensation for pressure losses across the endotracheal tube (ETT). In this study, we compared time-domain (TD), frequency-domain (FD) and combined time-/frequency-domain (FT) methods for ETT compensation. We measured total impedance ([Formula: see text]) of a test lung in series with three different ETT sizes, as well as in three intubated porcine subjects. Pressure measurement at the distal end of the ETT was used to determine the true [Formula: see text]. For TD compensation, pressure distal to the ETT was obtained based on its resistive and inertial properties, and the corresponding [Formula: see text] was estimated. For FD compensation, impedance of the isolated ETT was obtained from oscillatory flow and pressure waveforms, and then subtracted from [Formula: see text]. For TF compensation, the nonlinear resistive properties of the ETT were subtracted from the proximal pressure measurement, from which the linear resistive and inertial ETT properties were removed in the frequency-domain to obtain [Formula: see text]. The relative root mean square error between the actual and estimated [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) showed that TD compensation yielded the least accurate estimates of [Formula: see text] for the in vitro experiments, with small deviations observed at higher frequencies. The FD and TF compensations yielded estimates of [Formula: see text] with similar accuracies. For the porcine subjects, no significant differences were observed in [Formula: see text] across compensation methods. FD and TF compensation of the ETT may allow for accurate oscillometric estimates of [Formula: see text] in intubated subjects, while avoiding the difficulties associated with direct tracheal pressure measurement.
