Linguistic Validation of the Japanese Version of the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile and Relation to Physical Activity in Patients with COPD.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 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
purposeThis study aimed to develop a linguistically validated Japanese translation of the multidimensional dyspnea profile (MDP) and assess whether worsening of dyspnea's sensory and affective domains during exercise had detrimental effects on physical activity in stable outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Japanese version of the MDP was prepared in collaboration with Mapi Research Trust (Lyon, France) after the approval of the developer. Physical activity was assessed using a 3-axis accelerometer. Dyspnea upon exertion was investigated using a 3-minute step test.
resultsThe Japanese version of the MDP was obtained and validated linguistically. Air-hunger was significantly associated with total calories from walking (r = - 0.47, p < 0.05), while anxiety and depression were significantly correlated with both the amount and intensity of physical activity (r = - 0.49, p < 0.05, and r = - 0.46, p < 0.05, respectively).
conclusionThe Japanese version of the MDP was suggested to reflect both pulmonary functions, ventilatory response during exercise, and intensity and amount of physical activity in patients with COPD.
