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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This study investigated the effects of a mobile app-based biofeedback breathing exercise program on handgrip strength, respiratory muscle activity, and pulmonary function in healthy young adults. Methods: Forty-eight participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group ( Results: The experimental group showed a significant within-group improvement in handgrip strength ( Discussion: These findings suggest that mobile app-based biofeedback breathing exercises may enhance respiratory efficiency and optimize muscle activation patterns in healthy young adults, supporting their potential use as an accessible adjunct tool in pulmonary rehabilitation.
