Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Mechanisms of Functional Loss and Benefits of Exercise.
Review in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Exercise limitation is a characteristic feature of chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD and is associated with poor outcomes including decreased functional status and health-related quality of life and increased mortality. The mechanisms responsible for exercise limitation are complex and include ventilatory limitation, cardiovascular impairment, and skeletal muscle dysfunction. In addition, comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease are common in this population and can further impact exercise capacity. Exercise training, a core component of pulmonary rehabilitation, improves exercise capacity by addressing many of these mechanisms that, in turn, can potentially slow the decline of lung function, reduce the frequency of exacerbations, and decrease mortality. This article will discuss the mechanisms of exercise limitation in individuals with chronic respiratory disease, primarily focusing on COPD, and provide an overview of exercise training and its benefits in this patient population.
