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: Chronic opium use is associated with respiratory impairment and increased risk of respiratory-related mortality. We evaluated whether a structured, breath-centred Methods: In this single-arm pre-post feasibility study, 38 men were enrolled during a 1-month residential de-addiction programme and 30 completers (mean age 43.5 ± 12.2 years) underwent spirometry at baseline and after a month of twice-daily, instructor-led breath-based Results: The intervention was associated with statistically significant increases in FVC (2.76 ± 0.94 to 3.37 ± 0.73 L; mean change +0.61 L; p < 0.001; d = 0.88) and PEFR (4.45 ± 1.95 to 6.09 ± 1.97 L·s Conclusions: A month of structured breath-based Trial registration: CTRI/2025/07/089999.
