Noninvasive ventilation of air transported infants with respiratory distress in the Canadian Arctic.

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
Objectives: Since 2016, use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in Nunavut for air transport in select patients has become common practice. This study examines the outcomes of patients transferred by air from the Qikiqtaaluk Region during air transport. We examined intubation rates, adverse events during transfer, and respiratory parameters at departure and upon arrival. Methods: This was a retrospective review from September 2016 to December 2019 including patients under 2 years of age transferred by air on nCPAP from the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut. Results: Data were collected for 40 transfers involving 34 unique patients. Six transfers were from remote communities in Nunavut to Iqaluit, and 33 transfers were from Iqaluit to CHEO. The primary outcome measure was whether the patient required intubation during transport, or urgent intubation upon arrival to CHEO. The median nCPAP setting during transport was 6 cm H Conclusions: nCPAP on air transport is a safe and useful method for providing ventilatory support to infants and young children with respiratory distress.
