Daily physical activity affects exercise capacity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine which factors, including pulmonary, physical, and mental functions; dyspnea; and daily physical activity (PA) affect the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) in IPF patients. [Subjects and Methods] The pulmonary, physical, and mental functions; dyspnea; PA; and 6MWD were assessed in 38 outpatients with IPF. PA was represented by the mean number of steps per day. [Results] The mean 6MWD was 443.8 m (SD, 98.5), and the mean number of steps per day showing PA was 5148.4 (SD, 3295.7). The 6MWD was correlated with age, base dyspnea index, vital capacity (VC), diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide, quadriceps force (QF), dyspnea during the 6-minute walk test, and PA. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that VC (β=0.382), QF (β=0.272), and PA (β=0.574) were contributing factors of the 6MWD. [Conclusion] In patients with IPF, PA has a greater effect on the 6MWD than VC and QF. The evaluation of daily PA, in addition to physiological and muscle functions, is important in patients with IPF.
