Inspiratory Muscle Training on Exercise Capacity, Dyspnoea and Health Status in Pulmonary Hypertension: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Respirology (Carlton, Vic.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 AND
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of a high-intensity inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, dyspnoea, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH).
methodsSingle-blinded, randomised controlled trial 35 women with clinically stable PH (subgroups 1 and 4), functional class II and III, were randomly assigned to a high-intensity inspiratory muscle training (IMT) or sham training. Daily 8-week IMT protocol with 50% (IMT-50%) of maximal inspiratory muscle pressure (PImax) or sham training with a fixed load of 3 cmH
resultsThere were significantly greater improvements in the intervention group (17 patients) compared to sham (14 patients) on PImax [Δpost-pre = 56.4 cmH
conclusionsA high-intensity protocol of IMT improves respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, and dyspnoea in symptomatic patients with PH.
trial registrationThe trial was recorded on the Trials registry RBR-33gm3k (https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-33gm3k).
