Relationships between life-space mobility, physical function, and empowerment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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
[Purpose] This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the Life-Space Assessment measure, which conceptualizes physical activity in terms of life-space, and indicators of empowerment, and physical function, in stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [Participants and Methods] This was a cross-sectional study. The participants were 25 stable outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (22 males, mean age 75.6 ± 6.1 years). Measurements included the Life-Space Assessment; the Empowerment Scale for the Elderly; respiratory function; grip strength; weight-adjusted knee extension strength; and a six-minute walk test. Pearson's correlation coefficient and a multivariate analysis were used to examine the relationship between the Life-Space Assessment and each indicator, with the significance level set at 5%. [Results] The Life-Space Assessment score (83.4 ± 23.7 points) correlated with the percentage forced vital capacity and the six-minute walk distance. However, the Life-Space Assessment demonstrated no association with the Empowerment Scale for the Elderly (38.3 ± 7.0 points). [Conclusion]The results of this study suggest that physical function correlates with scores on the Life-Space Assessment in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
