Regional lung volume differences between the side-lying and semi-prone positions.

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
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the differences in regional lung volume between the semi-prone (Sim's position) and side-lying position, and the optimal position for increasing lung volume. [Methods] Measurements were performed in both positions on both sides. Sim's position was inclined 45° forward from the side-lying position. A 1.5-T system with a fast advanced spin-echo sequence in the coronal plane was used for magnetic resonance imaging. [Results] The two positions did not significantly differ in total lung capacity and its subdivisions on both sides, except the left lung in the right side-lying position and right Sim's position. In the nondependent lung, the percentage lung volume of the dorsal segment was significantly higher in the right Sim's position than in the right side-lying position. However, no significant difference was observed between the left side-lying and left Sim's position. [Conclusion] The heart was displaced ventrally by gravity in Sim's position and leaned on the ventral parapet. The spaces for the expansion of the ventral and dorsal segments of the lung were decreased and increased in Sim's position, respectively. With a nondependent left lung, the increase in the percentage lung volume of the dorsal segment was greater in Sim's position than in the side-lying position.
