Cervical spinal cord hemisection impacts sigh and the respiratory reset in male rats.
Article in Physiological reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Cervical spinal cord injury impacts ventilatory and non-ventilatory functions of the diaphragm muscle (DIAm) and contributes to clinical morbidity and mortality in the afflicted population. Periodically, integrated brainstem neural circuit activity drives the DIAm to generate a markedly augmented effort or sigh-which plays an important role in preventing atelectasis and thus maintaining lung function. Across species, the general pattern of DIAm efforts during a normal sigh is variable in amplitude and the extent of post-sigh "apnea" (i.e., the post-sigh inter-breath interval). This post-sigh inter-breath interval acts as a respiratory reset, following the interruption of regular respiratory rhythm by sigh. We examined the impact of upper cervical (C
