An analysis of the dynamic changes in the self-efficacy and quality of life of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease following community-based rehabilitation.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) on the self-efficacy and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
methodEighty-one elderly patients with COPD admitted to our hospital were recruited as the study cohort and were randomly divided into a control group (n=41) and a study group (n=40). The control group underwent outpatient rehabilitative treatment, and the study group additionally underwent CBR. The treatment effects of the two groups at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of intervention were assessed using their pulmonary function and quality of life scores.
resultsAfter completion of the CBR, the patients in the study group and the control group were scored using the CSES scale, which did not differ at 1 month of intervention, but the scores were higher in the study group than they were in the control group at 3 and 6 months of intervention (
conclusionCBR improves the self-efficacy and quality of life in elderly patients with COPD.
