Physical Activity and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients with Sarcoidosis: An Observational Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 literature results related to the physical assessment in patients with sarcoidosis are contradictory and limited. The objective of this study was to compare the physical activity and respiratory muscle strength of patients at different stages of sarcoidosis.
methodsSince 2003, we monitored 386 patients with ILDs, from which 107 patients were with sarcoidosis. Of the 107 patients with sarcoidosis, 57 were included in this study. A matched control group of 50 healthy patients were also included in the study. Kings Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ), maximal inspiratory/expiratory pressure and 6-minute walking test were recorded.
resultsWe observed significant differences between the exercise capacity of the four sarcoidosis stages, 561.00 (531.00-586.00) vs 557.00 (510.00-599.00) vs 469.00 (430.00-515.00) vs 457.00 (397.00-496.00), independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis
conclusionPatients with different stages of sarcoidosis showed reduced quality of life, exercise capacity and respiratory muscle strength both among themselves and compared to healthy controls.
