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

Introduction: We aimed to analyse the outcomes of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) and describe difficulties encountered in infants, a rare patient population in this therapeutic intervention, with limited scientific reports. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients 12 months old or younger who underwent HBOT in two different institutions. Demographic data, clinical presentation, HBOT indication, chamber type, oxygen delivery method, total number of treatments, outcome and complications were extracted from clinical records. Results: There were 54 infants in our study. The patients' median age was 3.5 (range 0-12) months. The major HBOT indication was acute carbon monoxide intoxication (n = 32). A total of 275 HBOT treatments were administered, mostly performed in multiplace chambers (n = 196, 71%). Only one patient (2%) required mechanical ventilation. Acute signs were fully resolved in the most patients (n = 40, 74%). No complications related to HBOT were reported. Conclusions: This study suggests that HBOT may be a safe and effective treatment for infants. Paediatricians should consider HBOT when indicated in infants even for the preterm age group.
