An Initial Assessment of the Decline With Age for the 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT) in Chinese Older Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To establish an initial assessment of the decline with age for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Chinese older adults. Design: It was an observational analytical study. Setting: The study was conducted in a local acute hospital. Participants: From January 2017 to January 2021, a total of 525 patients (431 men, 94 women; mean age 73.4±7.9; N=525) with COPD were studied. Main Outcome Measures: Information including sex, age, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stages, and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) were collected. Results: The 6MWD was significantly decreased with increased age ( Conclusion: An initial assessment of the decline with age for 6MWT in Chinese older adults with COPD has been established. 6MWD decreases as age (in groups 66-75, 81-85, and 86 or above) and COPD severity increases, primarily because of the increased severity of dyspnea, decline in exercise capacity, and muscle changes in aging. Health care professionals in Chinese community can use these values to evaluate these patients' functional capacity, assess treatment effect, and set treatment goals.
