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

Aims: To develop a ventilation navigator to provide controlled hyperventilation and to assess the feasibility to monitor hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis in healthy subjects. Methods and results: We developed the Ventilation Navigator software using C++ and utilizing high-precision timers as an advanced platform for respiratory guidance and control, incorporating adjustable breathing rate, and tidal volume, a session timer for automatic cessation. Its graphical user interface is designed to deliver clear visual cues to the patient, facilitating controlled breathing. We assessed the utility of controlled hyperventilation in five healthy probands using end-tidal CO Conclusion: We developed a ventilation navigator application to deliver a controlled hyperventilation and assess its feasibility to monitor hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis in healthy subjects. We are proposing this controlled physiological test to be implemented in the routine diagnostic workup to investigate coronary vasoreactivity in patients having angina with non-occlusive coronary artery disease after it has been validated in patients.
