Early Prone Positioning in Three Pediatric Cases of Post-drowning Acute Respiratory Failure: A Case Series of Short-Term Changes in Oxygenation and Respiratory System Compliance.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Drowning is a process of respiratory impairment resulting from submersion or immersion in a liquid, and severe cases may develop acute respiratory failure due to drowning-associated lung injury. Prone positioning is a recognized adjunctive therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), yet evidence in pediatric drowning remains limited. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive case series of three pediatric seawater drowning patients (age 2-6 years) without cardiac arrest who required endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation and received early prone positioning for 2-4 hours. The primary descriptive outcomes were short-term changes (within four hours) in oxygenation (arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO
