Effect of different CPAP levels on ultrasound-assessed lung aeration and gas exchange in neonates.
Observational study in Respiratory research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 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
backgroundRespiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and transient tachypnoea (TTN) are the two commonest neonatal respiratory disorders. The optimal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat them is unknown. We aim to clarify the effect of different CPAP levels on lung aeration and gas exchange in patients with RDS and TTN.
methodsProspective, observational, pragmatic, physiological cohort study. CPAP was sequentially increased from 4 to 6 and 8 cmH
results30 neonates with RDS and 30 with TTN were studied. Each CPAP increment significantly (overall always p < 0.001) improved both lung aeration and oxygenation, but the increase from 6 to 8 cmH
conclusionsIncreasing CPAP from 4 to 8 cmH
