Efficacy of Sports Club Activities on Exercise Tolerance Among Japanese Middle and High School Children and Adolescents After Fontan Procedure.
Observational study in Pediatric cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The exercise tolerance of Fontan patients is poorer than that of healthy people. Some previous studies reported that exercise tolerance can be improved in this population by cardiac rehabilitation. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with peak oxygen uptake (VO2) and to subsequently clarify the correlation between participation in sports club activities and variables related to exercise tolerance. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests were performed by 115 Fontan patients aged between 6 and 20 years. The patients completed questionnaires on their daily physical activities including participation in extracurricular sports clubs in middle (junior high school) and high school. Peak VO2 had a significant negative correlation with age and a positive correlation with hemoglobin, stroke volume, and resting tidal volume in the entire study group. Additionally, the sports club participants who were middle and high school students had significantly higher peak VO2 and resting tidal volume. Exercise habits including participation in sports club activities may promote exercise tolerance by improving respiratory function in Fontan adolescents.
