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

An observational bench study was conducted to assess impact of different physical characteristics of bubble mattresses on flux of under-surface phototherapy. Other outcomes studied were effect of Ethylene-oxide (EtO) and 2.45% glutaraldehyde treatment, multiple layer of mattress and use of new compared to used mattress on photoirradiance. Highest irradiance was obtained through green mattresses (40 GSM) followed by colourless 40 GSM mattress and 60 GSM mattress. EtO treatment and 2.45% glutaraldehyde treatment didn't lead to any significant reduction of the irradiance. Increasing number of layers led to a significant reduction in irradiance. The irradiance through a new mattress was not statistically different when compared with a used mattress of same GSM. It was concluded that appropriate bubble mattress, chosen on the basis of colour, density, thickness, usage and treatment, can let the desired amount of photo irradiance to pass through them without affecting the effectiveness of it.
