Features and predictive value of 6-min walk test outcomes in interstitial lung disease: an observation study using wearable monitors.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesTo describe 6-min walk test (6MWT) outcomes, and to investigate their correlations with cardiopulmonary and lung function among patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) which was not limited to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
methodsWe collected patients' demographic data and obtained minute-by-minute 6MWT outcomes. Modified Borg scale was employed to assess patients' dyspnoea, whereas New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and pulmonary function test were used to evaluate patients' cardiopulmonary functions.
resultsHeart rate (HR) exhibited a continuous upward trend, while SpO
conclusionThis observation provided an important evidence regarding oxygen titration. It is better to maintain SpO
