Pulmonary Function Test Outcomes in Adult Omani Patients: Preliminary findings from a single-centre study.
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to document the distribution of PFT outcomes among adult Omani patients. There is limited information regarding the distribution of pulmonary diseases (PD) in Oman. Pulmonary function test (PFT) outcome patterns could indicate an indirect distribution of PD. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January to December 2015 at a tertiary hospital in Oman. A total of 1,118 adults referred for PFTs during this period were included. Results: There were 605 (54.1%) female and 513 (45.9%) male patients. The mean age of the patients was 47.11 ± 18.1 years. Most patients underwent spirometry with reversibility (36.8%) or full lung function testing with reversibility (29.7%). Among the 1,064 patients with conclusive PFT outcomes, 39.9% had normal findings, 26.1% had obstructive defects, 19.6% demonstrated restrictive defects and 10.6% had mixed obstructive/restrictive defects. Conclusion: This study generated important preliminary data regarding PFT outcomes (defects) in Omani patients.
