Article in Thoracic research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07396597 (Investigation of Respiratory Functions, Muscle Strength, Physical Activity Level, and Quality of Life in Individuals With Premature Ventricular Complexes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the contribution of lung function and respiratory muscle strength in predicting functional exercise capacity in post-myocardial infarction (MI) subjects. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 56 stable post-MI subjects. Lung function was assessed using a digital spirometer, and respiratory muscle strength was measured using an intraoral pressure meter. The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) was conducted to assess functional exercise capacity. Correlations and multiple regression analyses were performed to evaluate predictors of 6MWD, considering demographic factors, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength. The Bland-Altman plot was used to investigate the agreement between observed and predicted 6MWDs.

resultsSignificant positive correlations were found between 6MWD and forced vital capacity (FVC)

conclusionLung function and respiratory muscle strength significantly contribute to functional exercise capacity in post-MI. This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive respiratory function assessments in rehabilitation strategies to improve exercise capacity in patients with post-MI.
