Physical Activity, Depression and Quality of Life in COPD - Results from the CLARA II Study.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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: Symptoms of depression, pain and limitations in physical activity may affect quality of life in COPD patients independent from their respiratory burden. We aimed to analyze the associations of these factors in outpatients with COPD in Austria in a stable phase of disease. Methods: We conducted a national, cross-sectional study among patients with COPD. For depression, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and for respiratory symptoms the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD patients (SGRQ-C) were used along with 10-point scales for physical activity and pain. Results: After exclusion of 211 patients due to non-obstructive spirometry or missing data, 630 patients (62.5% men; mean age 66.8 ± 8.6 (SD) years; mean FEV Conclusions: In Austria, nearly half of stable COPD outpatients reported symptoms of depression, which were associated with lower levels of self-reported physical activity, more pain, and respiratory symptoms. The associations were particularly strong for depression with SGRQ-C.
