1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in the outcomes of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-obstructive sleep apnoea overlap syndrome patients who used positive airway pressure.

designProspective randomized controlled single- blind trial. PATIENTS: A total of 79 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-obstructive sleep apnoea overlap syndrome were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 40) or control group (n = 39).

methodsAll patients consistently adhered to positive airway pressure therapy every night from enrolment in the study, while intervention group patients received additional moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 20 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention measurements included the 6-Minute Walk Test, Barthel Index, body mass index, fat mass, free fat mass, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1%predicted, modified Medical Research Council, and polysomnography parameters.

resultsAfter 20 weeks, the intervention group exhibited statistically significant improvements in 6MWD, Barthel Index, body mass index, fat mass, and modified Medical Research Council compared with control group (all p < 0.01). In addition, the intervention group showed a significantly lower percentage of total sleep time with oxygen saturation < 90% (p = 0.013) and higher lowest nocturnal oxygen saturation (p = 0.008) than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in FEV1 %predicted between the 2 groups.

conclusionPulmonary rehabilitation incorporating moderate-intensity aerobic exercise could improve physical endurance and motor abilities in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-obstructive sleep apnoea overlap syndrome, while also improving anamnestic dyspnoea, body composition, and sleep-disordered breathing.
