Effects of Conventional Rehabilitative and Aerobic Training in Patients with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy.
Article in Rheumatology and immunology research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of conventional rehabilitation alone and conventional rehabilitation combined with aerobic training on muscle strength and function, health condition, and quality of life for patients with stable idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Methods: This is a historical retrospective cohort study, in which the medical records of patients with IIM, who received the combination of conventional rehabilitative therapy and aerobic training (combined training group [CTG]), from February 2015 to December 2017 were reviewed. Patients with IIM who received conventional therapy alone were matched based on their age, gender, and disease activity as the control group (CG). Scores obtained on manual muscle testing of eight designated muscles (MMT8) was the primary outcome measure, and scores on the myositis Functional Index-2 (FI-2), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and 36-item Short Form Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire (SF-36) at 12 weeks during training were the secondary outcomes. Results: Fifty-six patients (28 in the CTG and 28 in the CG) were included in this analysis. Patients in both groups had improved MMT8, FI-2, HAQ, and SF-36 scores after 12 weeks of physical therapy. The CTG had a significantly higher score on the MMT8 and HAQ than the CG in the 12th week. The FI-2 scores were significantly higher in the CTG for the four items ( Conclusions: Physical exercise training including conventional rehabilitation and aerobic training improved muscle function, health condition, and quality of life. Conventional rehabilitative training combined with aerobic training achieved better improvement compared with conventional rehabilitation training alone.
