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 central oxygen unit of hospitals is considered a high-risk unit, requiring high safety standards to maintain the integrity of the system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The linear reasoning assumption of conventional risk analysis methods cannot adequately describe these modern systems, which are characterized by tight connections and complex interactions between technical, human, and organizational aspects. Therefore, this study presents a new and comprehensive approach to oxygen tanks in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers were used to calculate failure rates. After determining the probability of basic events (BEs), intermediate events (IE), and top event (TE) with fuzzy logic and transferring it into Bayesian Network (BN), deductive and inductive reasoning, and sensitivity analysis were performed using RoV in GeNIe software. The results of the case study showed that the IE of "Human Error" had the highest probability of fuzzy fault tree (FFT) and the probability of oxygen leakage was lower using FBN than FFT. According to the results, BE16 (failure to use standard and updated instructions) and BE12 (defects in the inspection and testing program of tank devices) had the highest posterior probability, while based on the FFT results, BE4 (defects in the external coating system of the tank) and, BE3 (Corrosive environment (acidity state)) had the least probability. According to the sensitivity analysis, basic events 10, 11, and 16 were the most important in the oxygen leakage event with a very small difference, which was almost in line with the results of posterior FBN (FBN
