Comparative analysis of lung function in supine and sitting positions in patients with moderate multiple sclerosis.
Article in Multiple sclerosis journal - experimental, translational and clinical. 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
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive disease that may affect respiratory muscle function. Pulmonary dysfunction may be subclinical, and posture changes can reduce lung volumes, especially in the presence of respiratory muscle weakness. Objective: To determine whether lung function differs between sitting and supine positions in individuals with moderate MS, and to explore associations with respiratory muscle strength and disability. Methods: Forty-eight participants with moderate MS (13 men, 35 women; median Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) 4.5, range: 4.0-6.5) underwent spirometry (VC, FVC, FEV Results: VC and FVC did not differ significantly between positions. FEV Conclusion: FEV
