Effect of Endurance Training in COPD Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Meta-Analysis.

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
Background: The efficacy of endurance training (ET) on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been controversial. This study was aimed at meta-analyzing the effect of ET in COPD patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods: The literature retrieval was performed in databases to screen relevant literature. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) subjects-COPD patients; (2) inclusion of interventional and control groups; (3) intervention measures-the interventional group received whole-body ET and other lung rehabilitation training, while the control group did not receive intervention or other lung rehabilitation training; (4) outcome indicators which included at least one of the following-6MWD, modified Medical Research Council questionnaire (mMRC), and COPD Assessment Test (CAT); and (5) study type-randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the risk of bias. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the magnitude of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis was used to explore the source of heterogeneity. A funnel plot and Egger's test were used to evaluate publication bias. Results: The 6MWD in the ET group was significantly higher than that in the control group (MD = 47.20, 95% CI [28.60, 65.79], Conclusion: ET can improve patients' motor function and reduce dyspnea. ET might be incorporated as an important part of lung rehabilitation training.
