Respiratory illness in children with disability: a serious problem?
Review in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07508332 (Lung Boost Trainer Versus Incentive Spirometer on Spiro-metric Indices in Post COVID-19 Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Children; Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
key pointsChildren with neurocognitive impairment often present with chronic or recurrent respiratory problems.The respiratory problems have an important impact on quality of life and life expectancy.The underlying causes are multiple: risk of aspiration, insufficient cough, upper airway obstruction and progressive kyphoscoliosis.There is often a complex interplay between these known risk factors.The diagnostic and therapeutic approach should be multidisciplinary. EDUCATIONAL
aimsTo provide data on the prevalence of respiratory problems in children with disability and to increase awareness on this topic.To provide insight into the complex interplay of the underlying causes and risk factors for chronic lung infection and respiratory failure.To give an overview of the diagnostic approaches relevant in this context.To highlight possible therapeutic approaches.To touch on ethical considerations in this group of vulnerable and complex patients.
