Association of Diaphragmatic Crus Thickness Assessed by Computed Tomography with Diaphragmatic Excursion and Exercise Capacity in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Article in Lung, 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

conclusionCT-derived diaphragmatic thickness was independently associated with diaphragmatic excursion and exercise capacity in COPD. Combined structural and functional diaphragm assessment identified patients with markedly reduced exercise capacity, suggesting a role for integrated diaphragm evaluation in functional risk stratification.
