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

Shared ventilation is an interesting topic amongst researchers due to the possibility of healthcare saturation under disaster conditions provoked by viruses, war environments, diffusive respiratory system diseases, etc. However, general outcomes from this practice have shown several risks. The Multiple Emergency Ventilator overcomes these hazards by providing a temporary, pressure-controlled ventilatory support for up to ten patients simultaneously, whilst allowing for a modular and fast assembly during emergencies. This article presents the construction and the assessment of the prototype using patient simulators with different types of bio-mechanical characteristic configurations at ten hospitalization stations. Ventilation parameters at the most distal-to-source station were recorded. Under normal operation, a minute ventilation of 9.6 breaths × L × min
