1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study examined treatment outcomes of speech-language pathology intervention addressing exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) symptoms in teenage athletes.

methodA prospective cohort design was utilized; teenagers diagnosed with EILO completed questionnaires during initial EILO evaluations, posttherapy, 3-month posttherapy, and 6-month posttherapy. Questionnaires examined the frequency of breathing problems, the use of the techniques taught in therapy, and the use of inhaler. Patients completed the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) inventory at all time points.

resultsFifty-nine patients completed baseline questionnaires. Of these, 38 were surveyed posttherapy, 32 at 3-month posttherapy, and 27 at 6-month posttherapy. Patients reported more frequent and complete activity participation immediately posttherapy (

conclusionsTherapy with a speech-language pathologist for EILO allowed for more frequent physical activity following therapy completion and decreased dyspnea symptoms 6-month posttherapy. Therapy was associated with a decrease in inhaler use. PedsQL scores indicated mildly poor health-related quality of life even after EILO symptoms improved. Findings support therapy as an effective treatment for EILO in teenage athletes and suggest that dyspnea symptoms may continue to improve following discharge as patients continue using therapy techniques.
