1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The anatomy and function of the respiratory systems of penguins are reviewed in relation to gas exchange and minimization of the risks of pulmonary barotrauma, decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis during dives. Topics include available lung morphology and morphometry, respiratory air volumes determined with different techniques, review of possible physiological and biomechanical mechanisms of baroprotection, calculations of baroprotection limits and review of air sac and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (P
