Short-term effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up and fatigue on diaphragmatic function in professional basketball players: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07046637 (Short-Term Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Warm-Up and Fatigue on Diaphragmatic Function in Professional Basketball Players), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeThis randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to assess the short-term effects of inspiratory muscle fatigue and warm-up on respiratory muscle strength and diaphragm thickness in professional basketball players.
methodsThirty-eight professional basketball players randomly allocated into an Inspiratory Muscle Fatigue group (FG) or an Inspiratory Muscle Warm-up group (WG). Diaphragmatic ultrasound parameters (inspiratory thickness, thickening fraction) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 15 and 30 min post-intervention.
resultsCompared with baseline, the FG showed decreases of 7% in MIP, 11% in inspiratory diaphragm thickness, and 26% in thickening fraction (all p < 0.01; η² = 0.38-0.68). In contrast, the WG demonstrated increases of 5% in MIP, 9% in inspiratory thickness, and 17% in thickening fraction immediately and 15 min after the intervention (p < 0.01). All outcomes showed strong group × time interactions (η² ≥ 0.74). Improvements in the WG diminished by 30 min.
conclusionsInspiratory muscle fatigue induces short-term impairments in inspiratory muscle strength and diaphragm thickness lasting at least 30 min. In contrast, inspiratory muscle warm-up elicits transient improvements lasting up to 15 min.
