Effect of Thoracic Squeezing Technique and Expiratory Flow Increase Technique on Neonates With Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a major cause of morbidity and death in premature newborns due to inadequate surfactant synthesis in the lungs. Preterm birth carries a higher risk of respiratory problems. Clinically cyanosis, grunting, retractions, and tachypnea are signs of early respiratory distress associated with RDS Should therapeutic measures not be implemented, the infant may suffer respiratory failure and increasing hypoxia. This case study investigates how physical therapy affects a preterm newborn with NRDS regarding thoracic squeeze, percussion, and vibration with expiratory flow increase technique The patient's prenatal, natal, and postnatal history is included in depth in the report, along with information on the mother's health, pregnancy difficulties, birth details, first clinical presentation, and care that followed. Despite advancements in treatment through the use of surfactants, prenatal corticosteroids, and advanced respiratory care for the newborn, RDS continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in premature newborns. The significance of interdisciplinary methods in improving the care and prognosis of newborns with NRDS is shown by this instance.
