Inspiratory and expiratory CT analyses of the diaphragmatic crus in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the association between the results of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the size of their diaphragmatic crus (DC) using inspiratory and expiratory CT. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-three patients who underwent inspiratory and expiratory CT and PFTs between July and December 2019 were studied retrospectively. The short axis, long axis, and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the bilateral DC were measured, and the percentage change of the DC after expiration (% change of DC) in the size was calculated. The correlation between the results of the PFTs (forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV
resultsSignificant correlations were observed between the short axis of the right and left DC at expiration and PFTs (FEV
conclusionThere were significant correlations between airflow limitation and the short axis of the bilateral DC at expiration, and the % change in the DC of the CSA. Certain CT measurements of the DC may reflect airflow limitation in patients with COPD.
