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
backgroundAcoustic respiration rate (RRa) monitoring is a method of continuously measuring respiratory rate using a signal from an acoustic transducer placed over the airway. The purpose of the present study is to examine how the averaging time and respiratory pause time settings of an RRa monitor affect the detection time of sudden respiratory rate changes.
methodsA total of 40 healthy adult volunteers were included in the study. First, we measured the apnea detection time (apnea test) by dividing them into two groups (N = 20 each), one with a respiratory pause time setting of 20 s and the other with 40 s. Each group performed two apnea tests with an averaging time setting of 10 and 30 s. Next, we measured the tachypnea detection time (tachypnea test) for half of the subjects (N = 20) with two averaging time settings of 10 and 30 s. For each test, three measurements were taken, and the average of the three measurements was recorded.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the apnea detection time between the averaging time set at 10 and 30 s regardless of whether the respiratory pause time was set at 20 or 40 s. However, the apnea detection time was significantly shorter with the respiratory pause time of 20 s than 40 s, regardless of whether the averaging time was set at 10 or 30 s (p < 0.001). The tachypnea detection time was shorter with the averaging time of 10 s than 30 s (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the apnea detection time and tachypnea detection time were much longer than the actual settings.
conclusionsThe results of the current study show that in the measurement of RRa, the apnea detection time is more affected by the respiratory pause time setting than the averaging time setting; however, the tachypnea detection time is significantly affected by the averaging time setting.
