Respiratory muscle dysfunction in acute and chronic respiratory failure: how to diagnose and how to treat?
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Assessing and treating respiratory muscle dysfunction is crucial for patients with both acute and chronic respiratory failure. Respiratory muscle dysfunction can contribute to the onset of respiratory failure and may also worsen due to interventions aimed at treatment. Evaluating respiratory muscle function is particularly valuable for diagnosing, phenotyping and assessing treatment efficacy in these patients. This review outlines established methods, such as measuring respiratory pressures, and explores novel techniques, including respiratory muscle neurophysiology assessments using electromyography and imaging with ultrasound.Additionally, we review various treatment strategies designed to support and alleviate the burden on overworked respiratory muscles or to enhance their capacity through training interventions. These strategies range from invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation approaches to specialised respiratory muscle training programmes. By summarising both established techniques and recent methodological advancements, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the tools available in clinical practice for evaluating and treating respiratory muscle dysfunction. Our goal is to present a clear understanding of the current capabilities and limitations of these diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Integrating advanced diagnostic methods and innovative treatment strategies should help improve patient management and outcomes. This comprehensive review serves as a resource for clinicians, equipping them with the necessary knowledge to effectively diagnose and treat respiratory muscle dysfunction in both acute and chronic respiratory failure scenarios.
