'Tired, afraid, breathless … .' An international survey of the exercise experience for people living with pulmonary hypertension.
Article in Pulmonary circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Patients with pulmonary hypertension are more sedentary than the general population, but attitudes and experiences that may influence their exercise behaviour remain poorly understood. This study identified patterns of behaviour, attitudes towards exercise, barriers and enablers of exercise for people living with pulmonary hypertension. Accessibility of rehabilitation services from a patient perspective was also explored. A voluntary, international survey of people living with pulmonary hypertension was conducted, with mixed quantitative and qualitative data collection. Data from 187 participants in 19 countries were included in the analyses. In total, 52% (95/183) of people with pulmonary hypertension reported that they attempted to engage in regular physical activity. This was less than the proportion who did so prior to diagnosis (61%, 112/184,
