Content, uptake and adherence of exercise interventions after an acute exacerbation of COPD: a scoping review.
Article in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPulmonary rehabilitation is underutilised in patients after an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Retrieving information regarding the setting, training modalities and the uptake and adherence to exercise interventions for these individuals in a vulnerable state could potentially guide future research.
aimTo provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the content, uptake and adherence of different exercise interventions for patients after an AECOPD.
methodsEight different databases were searched for 1) patients experiencing an AECOPD and 2) performing any form of exercise intervention. Information on content, uptake and adherence was collected and the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) checklist was performed for each included record.
results59 distinct interventions were identified between 1998 and 2023 including a total of 9238 patients. All studies included patients requiring hospitalisation for the AECOPD, four studies additionally included patients not requiring hospitalisation for the AECOPD. Nine different settings were identified, with the majority of studies conducted in an inpatient setting (n=26) and including whole-body and strength exercises. The overall uptake was mentioned in 38 (62%) studies and was 70% with a 13% dropout rate. No paper reported the full CERT checklist. Adherence was defined
conclusionStudies properly reporting on the uptake and adherence of well-described interventions, including information regarding fidelity, are needed to further investigate suitable programmes for patients experiencing an AECOPD.
