The global lung function initiative 2021 (GLI-2021) norms provide mixed results for static lung volumes (SLVs) in Algerian adults.
Article in The Libyan journal of medicine, 2022. 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
The validity of the GLI-2021 norms for SLVs in healthy Algerian adults has not been assessed. To ascertain how well do the GLI-2021 norms fit to contemporary SLVs data in Algerian adults. This was a cross-sectional study involving 481 (n = 242 females) healthy non-smoking adults recruited from the Algiers general population. All participants underwent a clinical examination and a plethysmography. Z-scores for slow vital capacity (SVC), functional residual capacity (FRC), residual volume (RV), total lung capacity (TLC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC), and RV/TLC were calculated. The mean difference between the determined and the predicted values (∆value) of SLVs were calculated. The GLI-2021 norms would be considered as reflective of contemporary Algerian SLVs if the total sample mean z-scores were in the normal range (
