Stabilising function of the human diaphragm in response to involuntary augmented breaths induced with or without lower-limb movements.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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

findingsWhat is the central question of this study? Is the stabilising function of the diaphragm altered differentially in response to involuntary augmented breaths induced with or without lower-limb movements? What is the main finding and its importance? At equivalent levels of ventilation, the diaphragm generated higher passive pressure but moved significantly less during incremental cycle ergometry compared with progressive hypercapnia. Diaphragm excursion velocity and power output did not differ between the two tasks. These findings imply that the power output of the diaphragm during stabilising tasks involving the lower limbs may be preserved via coordinated changes in contractile shortening. ABSTRACT: Activity of key respiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm, must balance the demands of ventilation with the maintenance of stable posture. Our aim was to test whether the stabilising function of the diaphragm would be altered differentially in response to involuntary augmented breaths induced with or without lower-limb movements. Ten healthy volunteers (age 21 (2) years; mean (SD)) performed progressive CO
