Association between ultrasound-determined characteristics of the diaphragm and respiratory function in young adults.

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
The purpose of this investigation was to perform a comprehensive assessment to identify relationships between ultrasound-determined characteristics of the diaphragm (thickness and excursion) and measures of respiratory muscle strength, physical characteristics, and pulmonary function assessments in healthy young males and females. Twenty-four individuals volunteered (13M, 11F; 23±3yr; 172±9cm; 74±15kg). While lying supine, ultrasound (Terason 3300) images of the right hemidiaphragm were obtained to determine diaphragm thickness (B-mode, mid-axillary line) and diaphragm excursion (M-mode, between mid-clavicular and axillary lines, below right costal margin) during tidal breathing and at end-tidal inhalation and end-maximal inhalation. Pulmonary function was assessed via spirometry and respiratory muscle strength was determined via maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory pressures (MEP) (Cosmed Pony FX). Diaphragm thickness assessed at end exhalation, end-tidal inhalation and end-maximal inhalation were correlated with MIP (
