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

objectiveTo determine if a novel CPAP system is associated with physiologic improvement in premature infants in a low resource setting and if the introduction of blended oxygen would reduce FiO2. STUDY

designFeasibility study of infants ≤2000 g or ≤32 weeks gestational age with early respiratory distress who were placed on Vayu CPAP with continuous pulse oximetry. Physiologic parameters were recorded prior to initiation and through the first 24 h.

resultsSeventy-six infants of birthweight 1360 ± 324 g and gestational age 31.2 ± 2.5 weeks were included. Compared to baseline, heart rate, respiratory rate, FiO2, and Silverman Anderson score significantly decreased while oxygen saturations significantly increased at one hour with persistence through 24 h.

conclusionUtilization of Vayu CPAP in premature infants with respiratory distress was associated with immediate improvement in physiologic parameters. Use of blended oxygen coupled with pulse oximetry facilitates reduction in delivered oxygen.
