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 and objective: Postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following thoracic surgery can be an important strategy for restoring functional exercise capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) in patients with NSCLC undergoing thoracic surgery and early home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and, subsequently, to assess the associations of the test results with muscle strength and quality of life (QoL). Methods: This observational study evaluated 18 patients with NSCLC before and after home-based pulmonary rehabilitation. Before thoracic surgery and 3 months after pulmonary rehabilitation, the participants underwent the following assessments: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), spirometry, measurement of the diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), respiratory muscle strength, handgrip strength (HGS), quadriceps muscle strength, and TGlittre. Results: When comparing the preoperative and postpulmonary rehabilitation periods, there was a significant increase in HGS [21.6 (19-29) vs. 28.5 (26-33) kgf, p = 0.011] with preservation of TGlittre time [3.6 (3.2-4) vs. 3.6 (3-4.1) min, Conclusion: In patients with NSCLC undergoing thoracic surgery and pulmonary rehabilitation, there was an increase in muscle strength and preservation of functional exercise capacity, although there was a decrease in lung function and QoL. There were interrelations of TGlittre time with MIP and pulmonary diffusion in the preoperative period and of TGlittre time with HGS and MIP following the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation. Although the results are promising, additional studies with a larger number of patients and a control group are needed to further support these findings.
