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
backgroundProviding positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) to the lungs is essential for neonatal resuscitation. Accurate PPV requires a precise measurement of tidal volume and airway pressure, with airway obstruction and mask leakage being the primary concerns for ineffective ventilation. This study aimed to investigate the differences between tidal volume and airway pressure measured by a respiratory function monitor (RFM) and the actual values delivered to the lungs in scenarios involving mask leaks, using a system comprising a PPV device, a face mask, and an artificial lung model.
methodsThree experiments were conducted to assess mask leakage (1) under varying lung conditions, (2) under different ventilation rates, and (3) using different PPV devices. Two RFMs were used, one in the test lung and the other in the mask. Trends in those data were assessed by means of a correlation graph.
resultsMask leakage resulted in an underestimation of the actual tidal volume, with the effect intensifying as the leak percentage increased. PPV devices using a compressed gas source demonstrated less reduction in lung tidal volume (from 15 to 12 mL) owing to mask leaks compared with those without such a source (from 16 to 5 mL).
conclusionsSignificant discrepancies were observed between RFM readings and test lung values for tidal volume. These findings highlight the importance of accurate monitoring to prevent lung injury caused by excessive tidal volume, particularly in the presence of mask leaks. Accurately measuring tidal volume in the presence of mask leaks presents a significant challenge for the future.
