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

backgroundAt high ambient temperatures in ICU rooms, the humidification performances of heated-wire humidifiers are significantly reduced, with delivered gas humidity well below 30 mg H

methodsWe measured, on the bench, the hygrometry of inspiratory gases delivered by a new generation of heated-wire humidifiers (i) FP950, (ii) VHB20 and a previous generation of heated-wire humidifiers, (iii) MR850 (Fisher & Paykel) with the usual settings (37°C at the chamber/40°C at the Y-piece), (iv) MR850 with no temperature gradient (40°C/40°C), and (v) MR850 with the automatic compensation algorithm activated. Hygrometry was measured with the psychrometric method after 1 h of stability while varying the room temperature from 20 to 30°C.

resultsTwo hundred ninety-four hygrometric bench measurements were performed at steady state for the different tested conditions. With the new heated-wire humidifiers (FP950 and VHB20), gas humidity delivered remained > 30 mg H

conclusionsThe new FP950 and VHB20 heated-wire humidifiers by using advanced algorithms demonstrated stable performance while varying the ambient temperature by 20-30°C, better than the previous generation of heated humidifiers when ambient temperatures were high.
