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

BACKGROUND Patients who undergo open-heart surgery often experience widespread musculoskeletal and pulmonary complications. These can interfere with their functioning, resulting in soft tissue changes, worsening postural changes, and poor respiratory performance. Therefore, the prospective study aimed to compare forward head angle (FHA) and forward shoulder angle (FSA), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and self-reported breathing dysfunction before and after open-heart surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a prospective observational study of 106 patients, men and women scheduled for open-heart surgery were enrolled. Prior to surgery and before discharge from the hospital, all patients were required to assess FHA and FSA using 2-dimensional motion analysis software, MIP using a respiratory pressure meter, and breathing dysfunction using the 25-item Self Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire (SEBQ). Paired t test was used to compare differences between before and after surgery. To evaluate associations, logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS Of the 106 patients recruited, 73 completed the study. FHA (-Δ6.55±4.77, P.
