Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with Asthma COPD Overlap Syndrome: A Randomized Control Trial.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesWe sought to evaluate the effectiveness of six weeks pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap syndrome (ACOS).
methodsWe enrolled 28 patients with ACOS. Fourteen patients were randomly allocated to the PR group, which comprised of supervised endurance training, supervised resistance training, breathing exercises, self management, and education. The other 14 patients were allocated to the control group, who were asked to continue their usual routine strategies for six weeks. All patients were assessed at baseline and after six weeks using the six minute walk test (6MWT), St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), pulmonary function test (PFT), and Bode index (BI).
resultsWe saw a significant improvement in 6MWT (
conclusionsUse of a short-term PR program in ACOS patients results in favorable changes in functional capacity, health-related quality of life, and BI. However, short-term PR was not sufficient to register changes in pulmonary function in these patients.
