Comparison of Ultrasound Measurements for Diaphragmatic Mobility, Diaphragmatic Thickness, and Diaphragm Thickening Fraction with Each Other and with Lung Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Observational study in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06143150 (Can Transthoracic Ultrasound Assessment of the Diaphragmatic Performance Predict the Outcome of Non Invasive Ventilation in Critically Ill COPD Patients With Acute Exacerbation), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic mobility, diaphragm thickness, and diaphragm thickening fraction with one another and also with lung function parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients and Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study from 2015 to 2018. A total of 140 patients were randomly selected for this study. Diaphragmatic thickness was measured at deep expiration and deep inspiration with a linear 10-MHz ultrasound probe. Diaphragm thickening fraction was calculated as the ratio between diaphragm thickness at deep inspiration and end expiratory diaphragm thickness. Diaphragmatic mobility was measured with a 3.5-MHz curved probe. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), residual lung volume, Pimax, and P0.1max were also measured. Sonographic results were compared to FEV1 and other lung function parameters. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between diaphragmatic mobility and the following measurements: FEV1 ( Conclusion: In patients with COPD, diaphragm mobility measured sonographically correlates with different lung function parameters and also with sonographically measured diaphragm thickness (negative correlation) and diaphragm thickening fraction (positive correlation).
