Effect of symptoms on physical performance in COPD.
Observational study in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experience multiple symptoms including dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and fatigue, which are highly correlated with each other. Together, those symptoms may contribute to impaired physical performance.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine interrelationships among dyspnea, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and fatigue as contributing factors to physical performance in COPD.
methodsThis study used baseline data of 282 COPD patients from a longitudinal observational study to explore the relationship between depression, inflammation, and functional status. Data analyses included confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling.
resultsDyspnea, anxiety and depression had direct effects on fatigue, and both dyspnea and anxiety had direct effects on physical performance. Higher levels of dyspnea were significantly associated with impaired physical performance whereas higher levels of anxiety were significantly associated with enhanced physical performance.
conclusionDyspnea was the strongest predictor of impaired physical performance in patients with COPD.
