The Short Term Influence of Chest Physiotherapy on Lung Function Parameters in Children With Cystic Fibrosis and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Airway clearance therapy (ACT) is one of the cornerstone treatment modalities to improve mucociliary clearance for patients with bronchiectasis. The progression of lung disease in patients with bronchiectasis can be evaluated by spirometry and multiple breath washout (MBW) and it is advised to monitor these on a regular basis. However, the short term effect of ACT on spirometry and MBW parameters is insufficiently clear and this variability may impact standardization. For cystic fibrosis (CF), available literature refutes a short time effect on spirometry and MBW parameters in children, however, for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) no data are available. We performed a single-center, prospective cross-over study to evaluate the short term effect of a single ACT session using positive expiratory pressure mask on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
