Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Baroreflex Sensitivity, Respiratory Function, and Serum Oxidative Stress in Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundrespiratory complications are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). We examined the effects of respiratory muscle training (RMT) in patients with acute cervical SCI.
methodsthis prospective trial enrolled 44 adults with acute cervical SCI, of which twenty received RMT and twenty-four did not receive RMT. Respiratory function, cardiovascular autonomic function, and reactive oxidative species (ROS) were compared. The experimental group received 40-min high-intensity home-based RMT 7 days per week for 10 weeks. The control group received a sham intervention for a similar period. The primary outcomes were the effects of RMT on pulmonary and cardiovascular autonomic function, and ROS production in individuals with acute cervical SCI.
resultssignificant differences between the two groups in cardiovascular autonomic function and the heart rate response to deep breathing (
conclusionsHigh-intensity home-based RMT can improve pulmonary function and endurance and reduce breathing difficulties in patients with respiratory muscle weakness after injury. It is recommended for rehabilitation after spinal cord injury.
