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

Introduction: Whole-body exercise can attenuate postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions, one of the three main components in glucose control. Respiratory muscle endurance exercises (RMEE) based on resisted hyperpnea could offer an alternative or managing postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions in individuals unable or unwilling to perform whole-body exercise. Methods: We investigated whether PPG excursions during a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test are attenuated with 5 min (RMEE-5) or 15 min (RMEE-15) of respiratory muscle endurance exercises in 18 younger (age 24 ± 4 years) and 10 older (age 54 ± 7 years) healthy adults. On three separate visits, participants (8-h fasted) ingested 75 g of glucose and, 14min later, performed either RMEE-5, RMEE-15, or sat quietly (control). Blood glucose concentration was monitored periodically for a 2-h period. Results: Neither intervention differed from control in terms of glucose area under the curve ( Discussion: Based on the apparent lack of effects regardless of age group and exercise duration, bouts of increased respiratory muscle work do not seem to be effective for the management of PPG.
