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: Abdominal bloating is a very common and often quite debilitating complaint affecting nearly 18% of people worldwide. There is very little known about whether or not breathing exercises can help reduce bloating. Methods: In a prospective study, we investigated the effects of breathing exercises using either a PDF of written instructions on diaphragmatic breathing or a biofeedback respiratory practice device (Calmigo Results: Eighty-five participants were randomized to either written instructions ( Conclusion: Brief breathing exercises, either using written instructions or Calmigo
