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: The field of automatic respiratory analysis focuses mainly on breath detection on signals such as audio recordings, or nasal flow measurement, which suffer from issues with background noise and other disturbances. Here we introduce a novel algorithm designed to isolate individual respiratory cycles on a thoracic respiratory inductance plethysmography signal using the non-invasive signal of the respiratory inductance plethysmography belts. Purpose: The algorithm locates breaths using signal processing and statistical methods on the thoracic respiratory inductance plethysmography belt and enables the analysis of sleep data on an individual breath level. Patients and Methods: The algorithm was evaluated against a cohort of 31 participants, both healthy and diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. The dataset consisted of 13 female and 18 male participants between the ages of 20 and 69. The algorithm was evaluated on 7.3 hours of hand-annotated data from the cohort, or 8782 individual breaths in total. The algorithm was specifically evaluated on a dataset containing many sleep-disordered breathing events to confirm that it did not suffer in terms of accuracy when detecting breaths in the presence of sleep-disordered breathing. The algorithm was also evaluated across many participants, and we found that its accuracy was consistent across people. Source code for the algorithm was made public via an open-source Python library. Results: The proposed algorithm achieved an estimated 94% accuracy when detecting breaths in respiratory signals while producing false positives that amount to only 5% of the total number of detections. The accuracy was not affected by the presence of respiratory related events, such as obstructive apneas or snoring. Conclusion: This work presents an automatic respiratory cycle algorithm suitable for use as an analytical tool for research based on individual breaths in sleep recordings that include respiratory inductance plethysmography.
