Oxygen saturation targets for children with respiratory distress: a systematic review.
Review in ERJ open research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: In children with respiratory distress, supplemental oxygen is indicated at peripheral oxygen saturation ( Methods: Electronic databases and registries were searched for original articles published from 1 January 2010 to 7 January 2022 comparing two or more Results: We retrieved 3384 results; seven studies were included. Lower thresholds ranged from 80% to 92% and were compared with higher thresholds ranging from 92% to 94%. Studies were highly heterogeneous in setting, design, population and outcomes. Risk of bias varied from low to high. Lower Conclusions: The current
