Comparing methods to measure the dispersion of breathing parameters during exercise testing: A simulation study based on real-life parameters from patients with dysfunctional breathing.
Article in Physiological reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The dispersion of the tidal volume and of the breathing frequency have been used to diagnose dysfunctional breathing during cardio-pulmonary exercise testing. No validated methods to objectively describe this dispersion exist. We aimed to validate such a method. We used simulations based on real-life parameters. Moving standard deviation (MSD) and residuals from locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) were evaluated. The precision and the bias of each tested method at rest and during exercise simulations, with and without sighs, were measured. For LOESS, a 2nd degree polynomial was used, and different spans were tested (LOESS
