Impaired exercise capacity in individuals with non-obstructive small airway dysfunction.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Whether individuals with non-obstructive spirometry-defined small airway dysfunction (SAD) have impaired exercise capacity is unclear, particularly in never-smokers. This study clarifies the degree of impaired exercise capacity and its potential cause in individuals with non-obstructive SAD. Methods: This community-based, multiyear cross-sectional study analyzed data collected in Guangdong, China from 2012-2019 by the National Science and Technology Support Plan Program. Measurements of exercise capacity [peak work rate and peak oxygen uptake ( Results: The risk of impaired exercise capacity was significantly higher in participants with non-obstructive SAD [ Conclusions: Although not meeting the current criteria for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, individuals with non-obstructive SAD have impaired exercise capacity that may be associated with ventilatory inefficiency regardless of smoking status.
