Changes in physical activity in healthy people and COPD patients.
Trial report in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePedometry is an objective method to analyse part of physical activity. The aims of this study were to evaluate physical activity (by quantifying walking steps/day) in Romanian chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy subjects.
methodsA total of 58 COPD patients (GOLD stages III and IV) and 273 healthy subjects, divided by decades of age, wore pedometers for 2 weeks.
resultsSignificant decrease of physical activity level was observed in COPD patients vs. control group (3,414 ± 1,105 vs. 7,200 ± 2,452 steps/day). Walking performance of patients with COPD stage III was better than that of patients with COPD stage IV. For both groups, the lowest activity level was recorded during the weekend. Patients with COPD could not perform any aerobic movement.
conclusionsThis study revealed a difference of physical activity in both healthy individuals and COPD patients, in the latter group the decrease being worse and in accordance with the disease severity.
