Effects of external diaphragm pacing combined with repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve on respiratory function in stroke patients.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: To investigate the effects of external diaphragmatic pacing (EDP) and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) of the phrenic nerve on respiratory function in stroke patients. Methods: Fifty-four stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups: an EDP group ( Results: Following 4 weeks of treatment, significant improvements were observed in FVC, FEV Conclusion: Compared with monotherapy using either EDP or rPMS, combined treatment demonstrates significantly greater efficacy in promoting respiratory function rehabilitation in stroke patients. Additionally, it shows potential advantages in improving phrenic nerve motor conduction.
