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

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction is a procedure that involves placement of valves into the lung to intentionally cause atelectasis to help with perfusion-ventilation matching. There are strict exclusion criteria, such as hypercapnia, that prevent patients from qualifying for the procedure based on the early trials. We present a case of a patient that became a candidate for the procedure after utilizing AVAPS after BPAP failed to lower his PCO2 to qualify for the procedure. Additionally, newer studies show that patients who are hypercapnic might benefit from the procedure to improve hypercapnia.
