The Feasibility and Efficiency of Remote Spirometry System on the Pulmonary Function for Multiple Ribs Fracture Patients.
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 5 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
backgroundMultiple rib fractures is a common chest trauma with a significant and sustained impact on pulmonary function and quality of life. Continuous monitoring of the pulmonary function parameter was necessary to adjust the therapeutic goals in these patients. We developed an internet-based remote system for lung function monitoring with a remote spirometry and smart device application to follow up these patients consecutively.
methodFrom Jan 2021 to April 2021, we conducted a prospective study that applied an intelligent spirometry system for patients with multiple rib fractures. With informed consent, we collected clinical data from them and introduced the remote spirometry system. We followed up with these patients for 12 weeks after trauma and compared the recovery of pulmonary function parameters and clinical outcomes.
resultA total of 21 patients were enrolled in our study. We divided them into two groups by the compliance to this remote spirometry system. The improvement of forced vital capacity was better in the good compliance group than the poor compliance group (110% versus 21%,
conclusionsRemote spirometry system is a novel system that can help in lung rehabilitation in patients with multiple rib fractures. Patients that cooperate well with this system presented superior lung function improvement and inferior complication rate.
