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

aimDetermine the effect of Respiratory Function Monitor (RFM) use on the time taken to provide 30 s of effective positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in a simulated newborn-term resuscitation.

methodsRandomised crossover trial conducted at Cork University Maternity Hospital (Ireland). Participants performed two simulated manikin resuscitations with and without a RFM visible. Visual attention (VA) of the participants was assessed for each arm.

resultsThirty clinicians were enrolled (n = 30). Data was incomplete for two participants in the RFM visible (RFMv) arm, and one participant did not complete the task when the RFM was not visible (RFMnv).The median time taken to provide 30 s of effective PPV when RFMnv was 73.1 (IQR 53.9-106.1) seconds compared to 71.9 (IQR 46.4-116.1) seconds (p = 0.294) with RFMv. There was no significant difference in mean tidal volume (RFMnv 4.1 mL/kg to RFMv 4.6 mL/kg, p = 0.773). There was no statistically significant reduction in mask leak when RFMv (71.5% to 59.5%, p = 0.053). The median percentage VA spent on the manikin decreased from 81.3% when RFMnv to 59.5% with RFMv (p < 0.001).

conclusionUsing an RFM in a simulated term manikin resuscitation did not decrease the time taken to provide 30 s of effective PPV.
