Differences of ventilatory muscle recruitment and work of breathing in COPD and interstitial lung disease during exercise: a comprehensive evaluation.
Article in ERJ open research, 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
Introduction: COPD and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are significant chronic respiratory disorders, impacting quality of life. Respiratory muscle roles and differences remain not entirely clear. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the degree of recruitment of the respiratory muscles and the work of breathing in COPD and ILD during exercise. Methods: We compared the sensory-mechanical relationships in COPD, ILD and healthy controls (n=20 each). They performed pulmonary function, noninvasive and invasive respiratory muscle strength, surface electromyography and work-of-breathing assessments. Results: COPD and ILD did not show lower static muscle strength compared to controls, but did show poor performance in the exercise test with increased transdiaphragmatic pressure ( Conclusions: Early and increased activity of the respiratory muscles and work-of-breathing components significantly contribute to dyspnoea, exercise intolerance and neuromechanical inefficiency of ventilation in COPD and ILD.
