Single-breath diffusing capacity and lung volumes in small laboratory mammals is a research paper published in Journal of Applied Physiology (1980). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 10.6. It has been cited 140 times, with 124 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
We measured the single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC), and residual volume (RV) in anesthetized male hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits whose weights varied from 40 to 3,500 g. TLC (defined as an airway pressure of 25 cmH2O) was calculated by neon dilution. The DLCO was estimated by a modification of the single-breath method. There was a high correlation between body weight and our measurement of both the diffusing capacity and the lung volumes. No significant difference in DLCO was observed in rats when measured in different body positions, at airway pressures of 10 or 20 cmH2O, from FRC or RV, in male or female rats, or following hyperventilation.

From 116 citing papers with measurable signal
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 7% comes from its base citations and 93% from the citation network (116 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
