Measuring Restrictive Lung Disease Severity Using FEV
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: No clear parameters currently exist to grade severity in restrictive lung disease as for other ventilatory diseases. This article evaluates whether total lung capacity (TLC) or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Methods: A retrospective review of 6461 patient records at Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System in Puerto Rico was conducted, and 414 patients met the inclusion criteria. Pulmonary function test, Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, FEV Results: We identified a stronger correlation between FEV Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that compared with TLC, FEV
