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

backgroundInspiratory muscle training (IMT) is used in a broad range of populations to improve the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles, to improve both athletic performance and clinical outcomes. However, the optimal approach to IMT remains uncertain, and IMT is frequently declined in the clinical setting. This study aimed to measure oxygen consumption (VO

methodsThirty participants performed IMT at 4cmH

conclusionsIMT causes a load-dependent increase in VO
