1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an evidence-based, nonpharmacological intervention aimed to improve quality of life for patients living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Unfortunately, in Canada, most PR programs are hospital based and these are few in number; therefore, accessibility to PR programs is limited.

methodsThe Edmonton Southside Primary Care Network implemented an evidence-based PR program within the setting of the patient's medical home.

resultsPost-program evaluation demonstrated improvement in 6-minute walk distance, lower body strength, COPD health status, and quality of life, as well as a reduction in emergency department visits 1 year after program completion.

conclusionThe results conclude that delivery of a PR program in a primary care setting is effective and can help address the issue of accessibility.
