1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using a threshold device improves inspiratory muscle strength. What factors influence the IMT outcome has not been examined. Objective: To identify predictors of the positive outcome following IMT in persons with advanced multiple sclerosis (PwAMS). Methods: Inclusion criteria were non-ambulatory PwAMS, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ≥6.5, age >18 years, no acute medical conditions, current non-smokers, and ability to consent. Participants ( Results: After controlling for the initial MIP%pred, perceived fatigue at the baseline and Trial% were significant and independent predictors of MIP%pred after IMT. Conclusion: Less fatigue at the baseline and higher adherence to the prescribed exercise repetitions were positive predictors of the positive outcome following IMT in PwAMS.
