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

An electronic dashboard for oxygen monitoring and stockout prevention was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 by Jhpiego through the United States Agency for International Development Reaching Impact, Saturation, and Epidemic Control program and Government of Lesotho across 12 hospitals in Lesotho. Nurses documented patient blood oxygen levels, oxygen usage, and facility-level stocks on a daily checklist, which populated a dashboard that estimated oxygen demand usage and visualized facility-level oxygen stocks and impending stockouts. During 359 facility days evaluated, dashboard data reported 82/1,796 patients (4.6%) as hypoxemic, 186,802 L/day average oxygen usage, and successful prevention of all 14 potential stockouts.
