The study of respiratory muscles activation during respiratory muscle strength effort in adult females with chronic neck pain.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
[Purpose] This study aimed to compare maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) values and muscle activity during MIP and MEP between chronic neck pain and healthy participants. [Participants and Methods] Twenty chronic neck pain and 20 non-symptomatic females participated in this study. Maximal airway pressure (MIP and MEP) and surface electromyography (sEMG) for both sides of the upper trapezius, anterior scalene, pectoralis major and 6th intercostal muscles were recorded simultaneously. [Results] Significant differences of MIP and MEP values were found between the groups. The muscle activities of both sides of upper trapezius and 6th intercostal muscles during MEP were significantly higher in the chronic neck pain group than the healthy group except both sides of anterior scalene and pectoralis major muscles. During MIP, the activities of upper trapezius, 6th intercostal muscles and anterior scalene were significantly different between the two studied groups. Higher activity of left pectoralis major was found in the chronic neck pain group. [Conclusion] Decreasing values of MEP and MIP as well as muscles activities elevation in chronic neck pain participants were clearly demonstrated. Besides the musculoskeletal treatment, we suggest breathing exercise training to be considered in treatment programs.
