Potential Prophylactic and Therapeutic Effects of Respiratory Physiotherapy for COVID-19.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
New coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has succeeded in surprising the world with infecting more than 12 million people and claiming 560,000 lives in only six months. COVID-19 is associated with a spectrum of respiratory symptoms, especially dyspnea. Patients who progress to severe or critical condition display peripheral and posterior lung lesions bilaterally. These patients require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU); therefore, they are prone to ICU-related complications during disease and after recovery. Respiratory physiotherapy techniques, in particular, active techniques, might help the improvement of airway clearance and lung capacity in addition to the reduction of breathing effort during the active disease. In parallel, it might lead to the prevention of disabilities, resulting from infection and extended hospitalization in patients who recovered from COVID-19. This supports physiotherapy both as a prophylactic and therapeutic strategy for COVID-19.
