Considerations for the use and study of exogenous surfactant in respiratory disease from COVID-19.

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.
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
Exogenous surfactant therapy has been widely studied in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) but has failed to show mortality benefit in several trials. The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed interest in exogenous surfactant, and clinical trials are investigating surfactant therapy in COVID-19 respiratory disease. There is biological plausibility of benefit from surfactant, and patients who are early in their disease and do not meet full ARDS diagnostic criteria may respond differently, and perhaps more favourably, to surfactant therapy. Clinical trials that investigate patients with severe ARDS have a high likelihood of reproducing already known findings of surfactant therapy and systematically exclude patients who might exhibit a novel response to exogenous surfactant.
