Effect and safety of traditional Chinese exercises (Qigong therapy) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundTraditional Chinese Exercises (Qigong therapy) are more and more popular for chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) patients for the treatment and rehabilitation, however, the comparative effectiveness and safety remains unclear. Our study aims to compare the pros and cons of these exercise interventions for COPD by implementing a network meta-analysis.
methodsPublicly available scientific databases including ClinicalTrials.gov database, PubMed, Embase database, database in Web of Science, database in Cochrane Library, China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Chinese Periodical Service Platform (VIP), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang) will be searched for the relevant clinical studies from 2000 to 2022. Randomized controlled trials related to Qigong therapy in COPD treatment will be included. Systematic review and meta-analysis in the current study will be investigated according to the guidelines of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension statement for reporting of systematic reviews incorporating meta-analyses of health care interventions. The grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation system will be used to evaluate the rank of evidence.
resultsThis systematic review will summarize the evidence for different kinds of Qigong therapies.
conclusionThe network meta-analysis was designed to update and expand on previous research results of clinical trials to better evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different interventions of traditional Chinese exercises for COPD.
