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

A function of the abdominal expiratory muscles is the generation of cough, a critical respiratory defense mechanism that is often disrupted following spinal cord injury. We assessed the effects of a lateral T9/10 hemisection on cough production at 4, 13 and 21 weeks post-injury in cats receiving extensive locomotor training. The magnitudes of esophageal pressure as well as of bilateral rectus abdominis electromyogram activity during cough were not significantly different from pre-injury values at all time points evaluated. The results show that despite considerable interruption of the descending pre-motor drive from the brainstem to the expiratory motoneuron pools, the cough motor system shows a significant function by 4 weeks following incomplete thoracic injury.
