The effect of proportional assist ventilation on the electrical activity of the human diaphragm during exercise.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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

findingsWhat is the central question of this study? What is the effect of lowering the normally occurring work of breathing on the electrical activity and pressure generated by the diaphragm during submaximal exercise in healthy humans? What is the main finding and its importance? Ventilatory assist during exercise elicits a proportional lowering of both the work performed by the diaphragm and diaphragm electrical activity. These findings have implications for exercise training studies using proportional assist ventilation to reduce diaphragm work in patients with cardiopulmonary disease. ABSTRACT: We hypothesized that when a proportional assist ventilator (PAV) is applied in order to reduce the pressure generated by the diaphragm, there would be a corresponding reduction in electrical activity of the diaphragm. Healthy participants (five male and four female) completed an incremental cycle exercise test to exhaustion in order to calculate workloads for subsequent trials. On the experimental day, participants performed submaximal cycling, and three levels of assisted ventilation were applied (low, medium and high). Ventilatory parameters, pulmonary pressures and EMG of the diaphragm (EMG
