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
Introduction: It is unknown whether bucket hydrotherapy is beneficial to premature newborns with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Objective: To evaluate the effects of bucket hydrotherapy on physiological and behavioural parameters and the oxygen need in preterm infants with BPD during hospitalization. Methods: Twenty infants with BPD were randomized into a control (conventional physiotherapy - PG) or an intervention group (conventional physiotherapy plus bucket hydrotherapy - BHG). All infants underwent twelve days of intervention, and data from the first (D1), sixth (D6) and twelfth (D12) days were analyzed. Respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO Results: In the BHG, intragroup analysis showed lower values for FiO Discussion: Given the persistent gas exchange abnormalities in BPD, bucket hydrotherapy appears to be a feasible and beneficial non-pharmacological method for reducing oxygen requirements. Conclusion: The present pilot study demonstrates that bucket hydrotherapy is a therapeutic intervention that reduces HR, RR and oxygen requirements in premature infants with BPD without inducing changes in behavioural parameters.
