Home mechanical ventilation in children: evolving indications in an era of new treatment options.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Worldwide, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of paediatric home mechanical ventilation (HMV). In this review, we examine this rapid evolution in clinical practice through the prism of two distinct groups of children: those with neurodisability/medical complexity and patients with neuromuscular disease. We illustrate the changes in service provision for these two groups that are driven by a recognition that early intervention with HMV can enhance quality of life for these children and may complement the beneficial effects of novel disease-modifying medications to improve survival. Alongside this, we highlight the importance of balancing patient expectations with clinical need and discuss the ethical challenges that may be encountered when delivering HMV to this increasing population of children.
