Individualized physical training in the therapy of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia - A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPrimary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by ciliary dysfunction and impaired mucociliary clearance. Previous studies have indicated a low physical fitness in PCD patients but currently it is not known whether physical training beneficially affects fitness, inflammatory markers and quality of life. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a Caucasian male (67.0 kg, 183.3 cm), born in 1984 and was diagnosed with the Kartagener Syndrome (i.e. PCD) right after birth. He was prescribed structured physical training over a period of almost two years (from August 2017-June 2019) and was assessed regularly. Aerobic fitness improved throughout the intervention period, but no systematic changes were observed in inflammatory markers and overall quality of life.
conclusionsOur data provides reasoning to stress the implementation of structured physical training to enhance physical performance also in the management of PCD.
