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

Background: Safe and effective oxygen delivery methods are not available for the majority of infants and young children globally. A novel oxygen blender system was designed to accurately deliver concentration-controlled, oxygen-enriched air to hypoxemic children up to age five. The system does not require compressed medical air, is compatible with both oxygen tanks and oxygen concentrators, and is low cost. This is the first study that tested the performance of the innovative oxygen blender system. Methods: The performance of the oxygen blender system was assessed Results: The measured %O Conclusions: The novel oxygen blender system accurately controls oxygen concentrations and blended air flow rates, and is compatible with both oxygen tanks and oxygen concentrators. This innovation may be an opportunity for improved infant and child oxygen treatment worldwide.
