Experiences and perceptions of receiving and prescribing rehabilitation in adults with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation.
Article in Chronic respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRehabilitation is prescribed to optimize fitness before lung transplantation (LTx) and facilitate post-transplant recovery. Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) may experience unique health issues that impact participation.
methodsPatient and healthcare provider semi-structured interviews were administered to explore perceptions and experiences of rehabilitation before and after LTx in adults with CF. Interviews were analyzed via inductive thematic analysis.
resultsEleven participants were interviewed between February and October 2021 (five patients, median 28 (IQR 27-29) years, one awaiting re-LTx, four following first or second LTx) and six healthcare providers. Rehabilitation was delivered both in-person and virtually using a remote monitoring App. Six key themes emerged: (i) structured exercise benefits both physical and mental health, (ii) CF-specific physiological impairments were a large barrier, (iii) supportive in-person or virtual relationships facilitated participation, (iv) CF-specific evidence and resources are needed, (v) tele-rehabilitation experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in preferences for a hybrid model and (vi) virtual platforms and clinical workflows require further optimization. There was good engagement with remote data entry alongside satisfaction with virtual support.
conclusionsStructured rehabilitation provided multiple benefits and a hybrid model was preferred going forward. Future optimization of tele-rehabilitation processes and increased evidence to support exercise along the continuum of CF care are needed.
