Beneficial effects of a novel inspiratory muscle training device on respiratory muscle strength and submaximal functional capacity in community-dwelling older Thai adults: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Older adults encounter progressive deterioration of all organ systems. Disease development reportedly increases with age, resulting in decreased physical performance in terms of aerobic endurance, muscular strength, and physical ability. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is commonly performed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a resistive inspiratory muscle and determine the effect of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in older adults. Methods: Sixty older adults (age: ≥60 years), both males and females, were enrolled. All participants performed a respiratory muscle strength test (maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP)) and a 6-minute walking distance test ( Results: Between-group difference, the breathing training group exhibited improved respiratory muscle strength (MIP = 19.56 ± 4.54 cmH Discussion: An 8-week program with the Breath Trainer could improve respiratory muscle strength and submaximal functional capacity in older adults.
