Multimodal Breathing Control: Pontomedullary Mechanisms and Current Perspectives.
Review in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Breathing is a vital, continuous behavior that maintains physiological homeostasis, yet it is also remarkably flexible-modulated by volitional, emotional, and behavioral states. This review highlights recent advances in understanding how distributed neural circuits, particularly in the ventrolateral medulla and dorsolateral pons, integrate both homeostatic and non-homeostatic influences on respiratory control. We examine how higher-order brain regions interact with brainstem rhythm generators such as the preBötzinger complex, emphasizing a dynamic, state-dependent framework for respiratory regulation. Once considered a reflexive brainstem function, breathing is now recognized as the emergent output of interconnected networks that flexibly adapt rhythm and pattern based on internal state, behavior, and environmental context. Grasping this complexity is critical for understanding both the normal versatility and pathological vulnerability of respiratory control.
