The relationship between peak inspiratory flow and hand grip strength measurement in men with mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) decreases quality of life and muscular strength. Inspiratory flow is important for inhalants in the bronchi but is complicated to measure in routine practice. We hypothesized that hand grip strength (HGS) would correlate with inhalation rate in patients with mild COPD.
methodsThe COPD patients were recruited at the St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Yokohama Seibu Hospital, from 2015 to 2018. We measured peak inspiratory flow (PIF) through an In-Check flow meter attached with Diskus [PIF(D)] and Turbuhaler [PIF(T)] inhalers. The 6-min walking test (6MWT), and the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO), spirometry, HGS, or forced oscillation technique (FOT) parameters were measured.
resultsForty-four subjects were enrolled. All were men, with a mean age (± SD) of 77.8 ± 9.36 years. Thirty-nine patients had mild COPD. PIF(D) was 110 (80, 140) L/min (median, interquartile range), PIF(T) was 80 (70, 90) L/min, and HGS was 28.7 (13.8, 43.6) kgf. PIF(D) and PIF(T) were significantly correlated (r = 0.443, p = 0.003). PIF(D) was significantly correlated with age (r = - 0.327, p = 0.030) and HGS (r = 0.326, p = 0.031). PIF(T) was significantly correlated with age (r = - 0.328, p = 0.030), FVC (r = 0.351, p = 0.019), 6MWT distance (r = 0.392, p = 0.011), and HGS (r = 0.328, p = 0.030).
conclusionHGS might be more useful for predicting PIF than other parameters. Also, elderly COPD patients need to be taught inhaled methods carefully.
