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
objectiveTo characterise temporal dynamics, variance structure, determinants, and predictive relevance of oscillatory amplitude variability during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume guarantee (HFOV-VG) in preterm infants.
methodsSingle-centre retrospective cohort study using minute-level ventilator data collected during the first 72 h of HFOV-VG. Amplitude variability was quantified using standard deviation, coefficient of variation (CV), and root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD). Temporal patterns, variance decomposition, and determinants of variability were assessed using mixed-effects modelling separating within- and between-infant effects. Predictive performance for death before discharge or moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis.
resultsA total of 237,790 measurements from 60 infants were analysed. Amplitude CV declined from 0.122 (0.072-0.160) at 0-6 h to 0.063 (0.035-0.106) at 48-72 h, while RMSSD decreased from 2.10 (1.22-2.69) to 1.13 (0.64-1.94). Variability was predominantly within-infant (ICC 0.246-0.282), whereas mean amplitude, VThf/kg, and frequency were predominantly between-infant. Within-infant increases in oscillatory frequency were associated with higher variability, whereas increases in mean airway pressure and time from HFOV initiation were associated with lower variability. The composite outcome occurred in 47/60 infants. Early oscillatory amplitude variability demonstrated moderate discrimination (AUC 0.72, 95% CI 0.55-0.86), with an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI 0.66-0.95) when combined with oscillatory frequency and weight-normalised DCO
conclusionsOscillatory amplitude variability during HFOV-VG reflects dynamic ventilator-lung interactions. Its association with adverse respiratory outcome is hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger independent cohorts.
