Potential Effects of Lung Function Reduction on Health-Related Quality of Life.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was reported to reflect overall quality of life and individual perceptions related to health. Decreased lung function is associated with reduced ventilation and oxygen intake and reported to affect body functions. However, the effect of lung function reduction on HRQOL is still unclear. A total of 8398 retired workers from Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort Study were included in this cross section study. Lung function was measured using an electronic spirometer. HRQOL was evaluated through a questionnaire designed according to the WHOQOL-BREF. The mean of the HRQOL scores of its four domains (physical health, psychological state, social relationships and environment) is the total HRQOL score. A general linear model was used to analyse the association between lung function and HRQOL. In the continuous analysis by the general linear model, FVC was associated with the total HRQOL, physical health domain and social relationships domain scores. In the categorical analysis, there was a linear trend between FVC and the total HRQOL and physical health scores. We also found a similar relationship between FEV₁ and HRQOL scores. Further analysis suggested that elevated lung function could improve the scores of pain and discomfort facet and independence facet of physical health domain. The lung function was significantly positively associated with HRQOL in middle-aged and older Chinese.
