Effect of lung function disorders and physical activity on smoking and non-smoking students.
Article in Journal of preventive medicine and hygiene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe number of young smokers is increasing, and hence their risk of respiratory problems. This risk is exacerbated by their low level of physical activity, which also reduces lung function. This study aimed to determine differences in lung function and levels of physical activity between smokers and non-smokers.
methodThis research was conducted from October 2019 to January 2020. The research design was cross-sectional, and a purposive sampling method was used. Pulmonary function was measured by means of spirometry, while physical activity was measured through a modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
resultsWe enrolled 124 university students: 62 smokers and 62 non-smokers. A significant difference in lung function values (< 70 vs ≥ 70) was observed between smokers and non-smokers (p = 0.00). No difference (p = 0.907) in the level of physical activity was seen between smokers and non-smokers, with most subjects in both groups displaying moderate levels.
conclusionsStudents who smoked had more respiratory problems than those who did not. Although the level of physical activity did not correlate with respiratory problems, these problems were more common in the vigorous catgory.
