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

backgroundIn recent years, digital chest tube drainage systems have been introduced. Limited studies address their benefits and risks in pediatric patients, particularly neonates. This study compares a three-chamber chest drainage system with a digital system using a high-fidelity 3D-printed model.

methodsWe conducted direct measurements and 3D-printed model tests with both systems at different suction pressures (-1 to -20 cmH

resultsAt -20 and -10 cmH

conclusionThis experimental study evaluates the suitability of digital drainage systems for the pediatric and neonatal populations. Our model demonstrated reliable simulation of thoracic conditions, making it a useful tool for pre-clinical testing where patient testing may be limited. Both systems yielded satisfactory results at -20 and -10 cmH
