Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 4 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inspiratory muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality of life (QOL) in COPD patients. A comprehensive search was undertaken on the Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed databases, encompassing data published up to 31 March 2024. A meta-analysis was subsequently conducted to quantify the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the effects of IMT in COPD patients. Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. IMT significantly improved inspiratory muscle strength (SMD, 0.86,
