Deterioration of Cough, Respiratory, and Vocal Cord Functions in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy.

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
The purpose of this study was to clarify changes in cough function in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Seventeen probable patients with MSA were studied. Peak cough flow (PCF), respiratory function (percentage of vital capacity, percentage of forced vital capacity, and percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in one second), respiratory muscle strength (percentage of maximal inspiratory mouth pressure and percentage of maximal expiratory mouth pressure), and maximum phonation time (MPT) were assessed. Walking ability, disease duration, possibility of air stacking, Unified MSA Rating Scale (UMSARS), and Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III were also assessed. Data were separately analyzed for ambulatory and non-ambulatory groups categorized by Functional Ambulation Categories. PCF, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and MPT were significantly lower in the non-ambulatory group than in the ambulatory group. On the other hand, no correlation between PCF and disease duration was observed. A significant number of patients in the non-ambulatory group were unable to hold their breath. The UMSARS and MDS-UPDRS Part III in the non-ambulatory group were significantly higher than in the ambulatory group. It was concluded that ambulatory dysfunction is associated with the decline of cough function and respiratory-related function in patients with MSA.
