Myths and methodologies: Invasive and non-invasive assessment of respiratory muscle activity in humans.
Review in Experimental physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Survival relies on neural respiratory drive from the medullary respiratory centres to activate the respiratory muscles for breathing. Accurate assessment of respiratory muscle activity, as an estimate of neural respiratory drive in humans, will facilitate a greater understanding of respiratory physiology, the pathophysiology of diseases and injuries, clinical investigations and the neurophysiology of breathlessness perception. Here, we highlight the methodologies to measure respiratory muscle activity, their appropriate application, the potential limitations of the data and their safety and feasibility considerations. These recommendations can be applied to all skeletal muscles.
