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
objectiveThis study was performed to investigate the correlation between pulmonary dysfunction patterns and diaphragmatic sagittal rotation in patients with ankylosing spondylitis accompanied by kyphosis.
methodsThirty patients (27 male, 3 female) with kyphotic deformity secondary to ankylosing spondylitis underwent pedicle subtraction osteotomy and were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had undergone preoperative computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction, full-length spine radiographs, and pulmonary function tests. The diaphragmatic angle in the median sagittal plane (DA), pulmonary function test results, and radiological parameters were studied.
resultsCorrelation coefficients were used to present the correlation between the DA and pulmonary function and the global kyphosis (GK), respectively. The data analysis presented positive correlations between the DA value and vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). There was likewise a negative correlation between DA value and the global kyphosis (GK). Additionally, there were further significantly statistical improvements for DA, ERV, IRV, FVC, and VC, PEF, postoperatively.
conclusionsExcept for the restriction of the chest wall motion and the abnormalities of lung parenchyma, the diaphragmatic sagittal rotation is also an influencing factor of pulmonary dysfunction in patients with ankylosing spondylitis accompanied by kyphosis.
