Respiratory support for patients with COVID-19: A national survey of respiratory departments in England.
Article in The clinical respiratory journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe developed a national survey to assess the changes implemented by respiratory departments across England in response to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsAn online survey was sent to the respiratory clinical leads in 132 NHS trusts in England. The survey was open between 10 August 2020 and 25 September 2020.
resultsFifty-three responses (42%) are included in our results. The total number of non-critical care led Level 2 beds (requiring care for single organ failure-capable of managing continuous positive airways pressure, CPAP) increased by 159% at peak COVID activity from levels prior to COVID-19. CPAP was used solely in side-rooms in 9% of sites, and 57% and 31% of sites used CPAP in closed bays and closed wards, respectively. Fifteen sites (28%) reported shortages of non-vented non-invasive ventilation (NIV) masks and 12 sites (23%) CPAP machines. There was regional variation.
conclusionsThe number of beds capable of managing patients requiring CPAP increased significantly. We found deviations from previous standards of care, which likely reflects the pressure faced by hospitals in managing patients with COVID-19. The regional variation in equipment shortages suggests moving resources between regions may have been beneficial.
