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

Background: The effect of different backslapping parameters on sputum discharge in SP patients is unclear. Objective: To investigate the effects of different back-patting modes on sputum clearance from the lungs of SP patients. To provide a theoretical basis for future clinical care and development of critical care robots. Methods: The patients with severe pneumonia in ICU of Guangyuan tertiary hospital were selected as the study object, and according to the specific conditions of the patients, different back-patting methods were selected and given different back-patting intensity, back-patting frequency, back-patting times, back-patting times, back-patting times, and back-patting times, respectively, to compare and analyse the effects of the different back-patting methods on the patient's expectoration effect, blood oxygen concentration, and lung signs. Results: Finally, 143 patients with severe pneumonia were included. The volume of sputum expectoration, sputum viscosity, and blood oxygen saturation were significantly higher with different back patting patterns ( Conclusion: Specific high-frequency chest wall shock back-patterning can effectively improve sputum expectoration in SP patients, helping to restore lung function and reduce hospital stay.
