Physical Activity and Quality of Life among Patients with Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) improves exercise capacity, slows the decline in lung function, and enhances Quality of Life (QoL) in patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF).
objectivesThe study aimed to evaluate PA and QoL among children with CF compared to healthy controls; the secondary aim was to assess the correlation between PA, QoL, and lung function (FEV1).
methodsForty-five children and adolescents with CF and 45 age-matched controls completed two self-administered validated questionnaires: The Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) and the DISABKIDS for QoL. Moreover, pwCF performed spirometry and multiple breath washout tests (MBW). In addition, weight, height, and BMI were recorded. The Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire was used to evaluate physical activity; QOL was assessed using the DISABKIDS Questionnaire. The correlation of PA with QOL was assessed as well.
resultsMean age of the CF population was 13.22 (±4.6) years, mean BMI 19.58 (±4.1) kg/m
conclusionsThe children with CF showed satisfactory PA levels, which positively correlated to their QoL. More research is needed on the effect of increased levels of habitual physical activity to establish the decline in pulmonary function among pwCF.
