Applications of Forced Oscillatory Technique in Obstructive and Restrictive Pulmonary Diseases: A Concise State of the Art.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 FOT is a non-invasive method for assessing respiratory mechanics. It enables the measurement of respiratory system impedance by applying pressure oscillations through a loudspeaker at the subject mouth and then studying its deformation, which is commensurate to the resistance opposed by the respiratory system. The main parameters which can be determined with the FOT are the impedance (Z) and the components of respiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs). The FOT has been predominantly applied to the study of respiratory mechanics for research purposes; however, preclinical experiments and subsequently observational clinical studies have demonstrated that FOT can effectively assess airway obstruction, bronchodilator response, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and the presence of small airways disease. More recently, studies on the FOT in restrictive lung diseases have also been reported. Nonetheless, international guidelines on the precise applications of the FOT in lung diseases are still lacking. The aim of the review was to describe the technical aspects related to the FOT methodology in clinical practice and to provide a concise state of the art on the applications of the FOT in obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.
