Beyond the Spirometry: New Diagnostic Modalities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Article in Tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Spirometry can play a critical role as a gold standard in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While the criteria for diagnosis have advanced over time, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) standard of the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity ratio <0.7 remains the most universally employed metric. However, spirometry cannot be utilized in all situations, and test execution can be difficult for some patients, often showing normal values in the early diagnosis of COPD. Therefore, research on new diagnostic methods is underway. Techniques include whole-body plethysmography for measurement of residual volume and inspiratory capacity and airway resistance, diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide or nitric oxide, impulse oscillometry, infrared time-offlight depth image sensor, diaphragm ultrasonography, which can enable early diagnosis and multifaceted assessment of patients with COPD.
