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

Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients. However, the role of diaphragm remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to compare diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickness, and lung function represented by predicted percentage of forced vital capacity (%FVC predicted) during a load-lifting at tidal breathing between CLBP patients with (CLBP
