Statistics for the Non-Statistician: How to Read the Respiratory Care Literature.
Review in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Statistical analysis is an important part of the research process. Researchers are advised to include a statistician from the moment that the study is being planned. The statistical plan informs the research process, including sample size requirements and the most robust data collection. Once the data are collected, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses are performed. The results of this analysis determine whether the findings are significant, which leads to an interpretation of the findings. The importance of the statistical plan and analysis for the researcher is self-evident. However, it is also important for the reader of published papers to have some knowledge of statistical analysis. This allows critical review of all aspects of the published manuscript. The intent of this paper is to review some basic statistical concepts and thus allow the reader to become a better consumer of the literature.
