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

The exponential increase in the complexity of ventilator technology has created a growing knowledge gap that hinders education, research, and ultimately the quality of patient care. This gap is best addressed with a standardized approach to educating clinicians, just as education for basic and advanced life support classes is standardized. We have developed such a program, called Standardized Education for Ventilatory Assistance (SEVA), based on a formal taxonomy for modes of mechanical ventilation. The SEVA program is a progressive system of 6 sequential courses starting from an assumption of no prior knowledge and proceeding to full mastery of advanced techniques. The vision of the program is to provide a unique platform for standardizing training by unifying the concepts of physics, physiology, and technology of mechanical ventilation. The mission is to use both online and in-person simulation-based instruction that has both self-directed and instructor-led components to elevate the skills of health care providers to the mastery level. The first 3 levels of SEVA are free and open to the public. We are developing mechanisms to offer the other levels. Spinoffs of the SEVA program include a free smartphone app that classifies virtually all modes on all ventilators used in the United States (Ventilator Mode Map), a free biweekly online training sessions focusing on waveform interpretation (SEVA-VentRounds), and modifications to the electronic health care record system for entering and charting ventilator orders.
