Long-term effects of web-based pedometer-mediated intervention on COPD exacerbations.
Article in Respiratory medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01772082 (Randomized Study of Use of Internet Mediated Walking Program and Pedometer in COPD), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundTechnology-based physical activity (PA) interventions have been shown to improve daily step counts and health-related quality of life, but their effect on long-term clinical outcomes like acute exacerbations (AEs) is unknown in persons with COPD.
methodsU.S. Veterans with stable COPD were randomized (1:1) to either pedometer alone (control) or pedometer plus a website with feedback, goal-setting, disease education, and a community forum (intervention) for 3 months. AEs were assessed every 3 months over a follow-up period of approximately 15 months. Pedometer-assessed daily step counts, health-related quality-of-life (HRQL), and self-efficacy were assessed at baseline, end-of-intervention at 3 months, and during follow-up approximately 6 and 12 months after enrollment. Zero-inflated Poisson models assessed the effect of the intervention on risk for AEs, compared to controls. Generalized linear mixed-effects models for repeated measures examined between-group and within-group changes in daily step count, HRQL, and self-efficacy.
resultsThere were no significant differences in age, FEV
conclusionsA 3-month internet-mediated, pedometer-based PA intervention was associated with reduced risk for AEs of COPD over 12-15 months of follow-up. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01772082.
