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
Home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is used to treat patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF). However, knowledge on the prevalence and impact of multimorbid aetiology of CRF, patterns of NIV use, and survival of these patients is limited. Our aim was to analyse the multiple aetiologies of CRF, patterns of NIV use and the outcome of those patients. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,281 patients treated with home-NIV between 2004 and 2014 in Turku University Hospital, Finland. The patients were divided into nine disease categories: obstructive airways disease (16 %); obesity hypoventilation syndrome (11 %); neuromuscular disease (10 %); chest wall diseases (4 %); sleep apnoea (26 %); interstitial lung diseases (3 %); malignancy (2 %); other (3 %) and acute (8 %), which refers to the patients who did not fulfil criteria of CRF. In addition, multiple aetiologies of CRF were found in 17 %. Mean adherence to home-NIV was 6.0 ± 4.4 h/d and median treatment duration 410 (120-1021) days. Adherence, treatment duration or survival did not significantly differ between patients with either single or multiple causative diseases leading to CRF. Median survival was 4.5 years (95 % CI 3.6 to 5.4). The main reasons for discontinuing NIV were death (56 %) and lack of motivation (19 %). We conclude that home-NIV is used in a variety of diseases. CRF of multiple aetiologies is prevalent and not limited to chronic obstructive lung disease and obstructive sleep apnoea overlap syndrome. However, the adherence to home-NIV or survival did not differ between patients with a single or multiple diseases causing CRF, but the survival of the home-NIV patients differed according to the underlying aetiology of CRF.
