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: Use of respiratory function monitors (RFMs) during newborn resuscitation is not currently recommended by ILCOR. New-generation compact monitors have recently entered the market with portable designs offering better integration into clinical practice. Consensus on science regarding RFM use has been gained using complex legacy or research-only devices. This study aims to compare the accuracy and performance under leak conditions of two legacy RFMs with two new-generation monitors. Methods: The accuracy of new-generation RFMs (ResusRight-Juno, Monitvent-Neo100) were compared to legacy RFMs (Acutronics-Florian, Phillips-NM3) in the presence of imposed dynamic leaks (0 %, 20 %, 50 %, 90 %). Manual inflations using a Self-inflating bag (SIB) and T-piece Resuscitator (TPR) were delivered to a test lung (compliance 0.6 and 2 mL/cmH Results: Analysis of 1,920 inflations was performed. At zero leak, all RFMs performed with comparable accuracy for tidal volume, leak and pressure with minimal differences to reference measurements. System leak was accurately determined with tested RFMs at all levels. At 90 % system leak, RFM measured SIB-delivered volumes decreased significantly to <50 % compared with no leak; TPR-delivered volumes were less impacted and more accurate. Conclusion: The new-generation RFMs demonstrated comparable accuracy and performance to legacy devices at zero leak. All RFMs displayed accurate leak levels including 90 %. RFMs used with SIBs showed significantly reduced performance and accuracy at 90 % leak in contrast to TPR at 90% leak. New-generation RFMs simplified user interfaces may enhance benefits during clinical use.
