Prediction of exercise-induced desaturation in COPD patients without resting hypoxemia: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThere is no universally accepted criterion for assessing exercise-induced desaturation (EID). The purpose of this study is to compare the two methods regularly used for determining EID in COPD patients, as well as to explore the risk factors and predictors related to EID.
methodsThe 6MWT was performed with continuous SpO
resultsThe analysis included 124 patients. The overall incidence of EID was 62.1% by using method A as the criterion and 51.6% by method B. All of the EID patients found by method B were included in the EID patients identified by method A, as well as 13 new-EID patients. The difference in diagnostic outcomes between the two approaches was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but they were in excellent agreement (Kappa = 0.807, P = 0.001). Logistic regression analyses found that D
conclusionsTwo methods evaluating EID in this research are in a good agreement, method A can find more EID patients by focusing on SpO
