Effect of pelvic floor muscle combined with pulmonary rehabilitation training on lung function in elderly patients after surgery for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore the effects of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) combined with pulmonary rehabilitation training on diaphragm function and lung function in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.
methodsThis study was conducted by a randomized controlled single-blind method, 50 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture in Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital were selected and divided into the combined training group (Experimental group, n = 25) and the lung function training group (Control group, n = 25) by the random number table method. Patients in the combined training group received pelvic floor muscle training combined with lung rehabilitation training, and patients in the lung function training group received lung rehabilitation training. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second/FVC (FEV1/FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were evaluated before and after intervention to analyze the improvement of lung function. Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) and diaphragm excursion (DE) were used to observe the improvement of diaphragm function.
resultsAfter 4 weeks of intervention, there were significant differences in lung function and diaphragm function between the two groups compared with the improvement before the intervention, but patients in the combined training group had more significant improvements in FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF, DTF, and DE.
conclusionPelvic floor muscle combined with lung function training can improve the diaphragm function more significantly in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture after operation, and thus affect the lung function of patients.
