The effects of nurse-led family pulmonary rehabilitation intervention on quality of life and exercise capacity in rural patients with COPD.
Trial report in Nursing open, 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
aimTo assess the effects of nurse-led family pulmonary rehabilitation intervention on quality of life and exercise capacity in rural patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
designA non-randomized clinical trial.
methodsThis study enrolled COPD patients at two hospitals from January 2019 to January 2020. The primary outcome was the quality of life. The secondary outcome was exercise capacity.
resultsSeventy-four rural COPD patients were enrolled, 38 in the comprehensive nursing group and 36 in the routine nursing group. After the intervention, the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores in the comprehensive nursing group were significantly lower than in the routine nursing group, especially in symptoms, activities and total scores. The SGRQ scores of the comprehensive nursing group were significantly lower than baseline, while the SGRQ scores of the routine nursing group were significantly higher than baseline. After the intervention, there was a significant difference in six-minute walking distance(6MWD) between the two groups.
