A Network Meta-Analysis on the Effects of Different Exercise Types in Patients With COPD.
Synthesis in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare and rank the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance training, endurance training, and high-intensity interval training in COPD by network meta-analysis.
methodsPubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and the Web of Science were searched to identify randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of exercise training on COPD. The search period began on the date of database establishment and ended on April 8, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the retrieved articles, extracted relevant data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. Network meta-analysis was performed by using statistical software.
resultsThis study included a total of 27 studies that involved 1,415 subjects. The network meta-analysis findings indicated that high-intensity interval training was the most-effective intervention for improving 6-min walk distance with a surface under the cumulative ranking curve score of 87.68%. In addition, high-intensity interval training showed the highest efficacy in improving FEV
conclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that high-intensity interval training may be more effective than endurance exercise, resistance exercise, and aerobic exercise in improving the 6-min walk distance, FEV
