Effect of a short term pulmonary rehabilitation programme on exercise capacity, pulmonary function and health related quality of life in patients with COPD.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05204498 (Efficacy of an Education Plan and Follow-up of Exercise Compliance in Patients With COPD Evaluated Through Knowledge of the Disease With the LINQ Questionnaire and Quality of Life With SGRQ Questionnaire), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectivesPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been shown to benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation programmes. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of a short-term pulmonary rehabilitation programme (PRP) on exercise capacity, pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with COPD.
methodsA pre-test and post-test experimental design was conducted on patients from the outpatient physical therapy department. Thirty stable COPD patients with mild to severe airflow obstruction, (mean age 54.1 ± 5.22, FEV
resultsSix-minute walk distance (6MWD), pulmonary function (FEV
conclusionA 6-week outpatient-based PRP significantly improves exercise capacity and quality of life, irrespective of the degree of airflow obstruction.
