Multidimensional breathlessness assessment during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in healthy adults.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeThis study explored if healthy adults could discriminate between different breathlessness dimensions when rated immediately one after another (successively) during symptom-limited incremental cardiopulmonary cycle exercise testing (CPET) using multiple single-item rating scales.
methodsFifteen apparently healthy adults (60% male) aged 22 ± 2 years performed six incremental cycle CPETs separated by ≥ 48 h. During each CPET (at rest, every 2-min and at end exercise), participants rated different breathlessness sensations using the 0-10 modified Borg scale using one of six assessment protocols, randomized for order: (1) 'BREATHLESS
resultsPhysiological and breathlessness responses to CPET were comparable across the six protocols, with the exception of SI rated lower at the highest submaximal power output (220 ± 56 watts) during the BREATHLESS
conclusionIn healthy younger adults, use of two separate single-item rating scales to assess breathlessness during CPET is feasible and enables the distinct sensory intensity and affective dimensions of exertional breathlessness to be assessed.
