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

Background: Orthopaedic surgical helmet systems (SHS) rely on an intrinsic fan to force clean external air over the wearer. Carbon dioxide (CO Objectives: To determine intra-operative levels of CO Methods: CO Results: The average CO Discussion: The use of surgical helmet systems for elective orthopaedic surgery, can result in CO Conclusion: Further research is needed to corroborate these findings however, we recommend that future designs of SHS include active management of exhaust gases, possibly returning to Charnley's original design principles of the body exhaust system.
