Unraveling persistent dyspnea after mild COVID: insights from a case series on hyperventilation provocation tests.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dyspnea is a common yet poorly understood symptom of long COVID, affecting many patients. This brief report examines the role of dysfunctional breathing in persistent dyspnea among patients with mild post-COVID-19 using hyperventilation provocation tests (HVPT). In this case series, six patients with unexplained dyspnea and normal cardiopulmonary function underwent HVPT. Despite normal exercise testing results, all patients exhibited delayed PETCO
