Physical Activity Monitoring in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Review in Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (Miami, Fla.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Reduced physical activity (PA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality (e.g. exacerbations) and eventually leads to disability, depression, and social and physical isolation. Measuring PA in this population is important to accurately characterize COPD and to help clinicians during a baseline evaluation and patient follow-up. Also, it may help increase adherence to PA programs. There are reliable objective and subjective methods available to measure PA. Recently, several new monitors have been developed that have improved accuracy of such measurements. Because these devices provide real-time feedback, they may help to improve participant self-motivation strategies and reinforce daily lifestyle modifications, one of the main goals in COPD management. This review focuses on describing available instruments to measure PA, specifically in patients with COPD. The reliability, validity, advantages, limitations, and clinical applications of questionnaires, pedometers, and accelerometers are discussed. Finally, based on current published literature, we propose recommendations about which methods may be most useful in different research or clinical settings.
