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 and aims: A recent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) definition included patients receiving high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) when fulfilling the oxygenation and radiological criteria of ARDS Berlin definition. However, outcome of patients treated may be better than those who fulfilled the corresponding class of Berlin definition. This study was aimed to compare the survival between patients fulfilling Berlin definition and patients managed by HFNO initially. Patients and methods: Patients fulfilling the World Health Organization case definition of severe or critical COVID-19 infection requiring HFNO (at least 30 L/minute of flow), noninvasive ventilation (NIV) (at least a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H Results: All-cause hospital mortality rate in patients who fulfilled Berlin definition ( Conclusion: We have found a statistically significant higher survival in ARDS patients managed by HFNO in the first 24 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission when compared with the patients receiving NIV or invasive mechanical ventilation. So, we conclude that outcome of patients fulfilling the global definition of ARDS is largely different from those who fulfilled Berlin definition. Hence, prospective multicentric validation is required before its bedside use. How to cite this article: Maitra S, Baidya DK, Ray BR, Kayina CA, Haritha D, Nair PR,
