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

aimHigh flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is a form of respiratory support used in children with bronchiolitis. A national guideline for the use of HFNC was published in The Netherlands in 2020. We studied the implementation and use of this guideline.

methodsWe performed a multicentre observational study amongst all hospitals in the North-West part of The Netherlands referring to the same paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). This study consisted of two parts: a comparison of local HFNC protocols to the national guideline and a survey about the use of HFNC amongst paediatricians in the participating centres.

resultsWe observed considerable variations between the local protocols and the national protocol, especially regarding criteria to initiate HFNC treatment and weaning practices. Survey results showed that expectations of HFNC widely varied, while the clinical use of HFNC deviated from both the national guideline as well as local protocols, especially for weaning practices and the use of pCO

conclusionImplementation of the national guideline for HFNC therapy in bronchiolitis was inefficacious, leading to non-uniform clinical practice.
