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

Purpose: The blow-by method using a pediatric non-rebreathing mask (PNRM) is commonly employed to maintain oxygenation during transport of pediatric patients after general anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the blow-by method using a PNRM with an oxygen flow rate of 10 liters per minute (LPM) during simulated transport of pediatric patients. Patients and Methods: This laboratory study was simulated along a 32-meter corridor from the pediatric operating room to the post-anesthesia care unit at Srinagarind Hospital. A pediatric mannequin was positioned laterally on a transport trolley. A PNRM delivering oxygen at 10 LPM was placed at distances of 0, 5, and 10 cm from the mannequin's nose. The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO Results: Oxygen delivery was adequate only when the PNRM was placed at 0 cm from the nose, with a mean FiO Conclusion: The blow-by method using PNRM positioned at 0 cm from pediatric mannequin's nose provided adequate oxygenation throughout transport. Clinically, therefore, maintaining a close PNRM position is essential.
