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

Background: To investigate the effects of implementing group progressive resistance training on Maximal Oxygen consumption (VO2max), Maximum Ventilation per minute (VEmax), Maximal Oxygen pulse (O2pulsemax), Maximum Heart Rate (HRmax), and Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: A total number of 114 elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treated in the hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were collected and divided into two groups based on different training methods. The conventional group (n=57) received routine rehabilitation training, while the organization group (n=57) received group progressive resistance training. Cardio - pulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) parameters, serum inflammatory factors, lung function indicators, and mMRC score were compared between two groups before training, 2 weeks of training, and 4 weeks of training. Results: Before training, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding training compliance, CPET parameters, inflammatory factors, and mMRC score. After 2-4 weeks of training, both groups showed improvements in training frequency, intensity, autonomous training, and increases in VO2MAX, VEmax, O2pulsemax, and HRmax. However, the organization group had higher scores in these areas and lower levels of inflammatory factors (IL-8, IL-18, IL-6, IL-12) and mMRC scores compared to the conventional group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions: Group progressive resistance training can help improve the compliance of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with training, reduce the body's inflammatory response, improve VO2MAX, VEmax, O2pulsemax, and HRmax levels, and alleviate breathing difficulties.
