Within- and between-day test-retest reliability of responses to rapid bilateral anterolateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation in healthy humans (ReStim).

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: Mechanical ventilation can lead to lung injury and diaphragmatic dysfunction. Rapid bilateral anterolateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation (rBAMPS) may attenuate both of the aforementioned issues by inducing diaphragm activation. However, in order for rBAMPS to become part of standard of care, the reliability of inspiratory responses to rBAMPS needs to be established. Methods: Eighteen healthy participants (9F) underwent five blocks of 1-s rBAMPS at 25 Hz starting at 20% of maximal stimulator output with 10% increments. Three blocks were completed on the same day to test within-day reliability, and two additional blocks were each completed on subsequent days to test between-day reliability. Mean transdiaphragmatic pressure (P Results: At all stimulator outputs, within-day P Discussion: rBAMPS appears to induce reliable diaphragmatic contractions, while select sensory responses become blunted over repeated stimulations. However, as reliability is slightly lower between days compared to within day, stimulation parameters may need to be adjusted to achieve similar responses on different days.
