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

Clinical trials are essential for generating evidence-based knowledge to support clinical practice. In the prehospital setting, particular challenges exist in clinical trial design that have a large impact on the quality of the results, including the appropriate and systematic allocation of assigned treatment arm. The Pediatric Prehospital Airway Resuscitation Trial is a multicenter clinical trial evaluating different paramedic airway management strategies on critically ill and injured children in the prehospital setting. The trial assigns airway management strategy using odd-even day pseudo-randomization, which pragmatically balances the rigor of a statistical design that minimizes bias with the complexities of operationalizing a clinical trial in the prehospital setting. We describe the development of 2 technologies to aid in treatment assignment adherence during the trial: (1) a quick response code-linked web application, and (2) a self-contained portable reminder device. These technologies offer novel approaches to support treatment allocation in acute care clinical trials.
