Coordination dynamics of thoracic and abdominal movements during voluntary breathing.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Thoracic and abdominal movements can be tightly coupled during voluntary breathing, such as when singing and playing wind instruments. The present study investigated the coordination of thoracic and abdominal movements during voluntary breathing using a dynamical systems approach. We examined whether there are two stable coordination patterns, and if the coordination pattern would abruptly change when the breathing frequency increased, which is known as phase transition. The participants inhaled and exhaled repeatedly at 7.5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 breaths per minute. At the beginning and end of the experiment, the participants performed breathing at their preferred frequency. As a result, the coordination pattern at the lower and preferred frequencies exhibited an in-phase pattern. When breathing frequency increased, participants showed deviated coordination patterns from the in-phase pattern to either a thoracic-leading pattern, an abdominal-leading pattern, or an anti-phase pattern depending on the individual. These deviations occurred gradually; thus, phase transition was not observed. Our findings suggest that thoracic and abdominal movements are tightly coupled at lower frequencies, but their patterns vary depending on the breathing frequency and individuals. Therefore, the present study suggests the importance of viewing breath control in terms of coordination of thoracic and abdominal movements.
