SVASTA, PRANA and VaU: Three Novel Ventilators from Space Community.
Article in Transactions of the Indian National Academy of Engineering : an international journal of engineering and technology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This paper describes the design and development of three low-cost ventilators which can be mass produced to meet a surge in demand for such equipment. Each of these ventilators is having unique features while meeting standard functional specifications of mechanical ventilators. The first design works on compressed air source as control gas and does not require electrical power for its operation. Parameters like tidal volume, breathing rate etc. can be set mechanically in this ventilator. Second one is an automated Ambu bag based system, which has digital controller providing closed-loop control of critical ventilator parameters and a very unique geared actuation system that ensure long cyclic life to Ambu bag and fine control of parameters. The third design is an air blower based pneumatic circuit ventilator which is a state of the art ICU ventilator. Mathematical modeling of the systems is carried out to design the mechanical/electrical control elements and to simulate the performance of the system. Prototypes of ventilators were developed, testing and simulation runs were carried out and critical parameters were measured ensuring satisfactory performance of the system.
