Minimal Clinically Important Differences in Inspiratory Muscle Function Variables after a Respiratory Muscle Training Programme in Individuals with Long-Term Post-COVID-19 Symptoms.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07460999 (Effects and Mechanisms of Online Delivered Singing Training vs Usual Care in Patients With Persistent Symptoms 6-18 Months After Surgical Resection for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo establish the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for inspiratory muscle strength (MIP) and endurance (IME) in individuals with long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms, as well as to ascertain which of the variables has a greater discriminatory capacity and to compare changes between individuals classified by the MCID.
designSecondary analysis of randomised controlled trial of data from 42 individuals who performed an 8-week intervention of respiratory muscle training programme.
resultsA change of at least 18 cmH
conclusionIn individuals with long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms, the inspiratory muscle function variables had an acceptable discriminative ability to assess the efficacy of a respiratory muscle training programme. MIP was the variable with the best discriminative ability, showing better overall performance when expressed as a percentage of prediction.
