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

It is now recognised that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease with many systemic features. Cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal and psychological comorbidities contribute to the morbidity and mortality in all stages of the disease. The presence of comorbid conditions has important consequences for disease assessment and management. In addition to treatment of the structural and functional changes in the lungs, clinical programmes for COPD should also assess and manage patients' comorbidities. Thus, there is an increasing need to understand the interaction between existing therapies and comorbidities. Pulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in COPD. However, the impact of comorbidities on outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation and vice versa is only partially understood. To date, there is limited information on the need for adapting specific interventions in pulmonary rehabilitation to comorbidities or the potential adverse effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in these patients. This article addresses the currently available literature and suggests novel areas for research.
