Effect of water- and land-based exercise on lung function in children with post-COVID-19 condition: secondary results from a randomised controlled trial.
Article in ERJ open research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of water- and land-based exercise on lung function in children with post-COVID-19 condition. Methods: This was a randomised controlled trial with multigroup pre--post-test design. Children with post-COVID-19 condition aged 10-12 years were randomly assigned to water-based exercise (AQUA), land-based exercise (LAND) or a control group with no exercise (CONTROL). The outcomes were the changes in lung function (Lungtest Handy) from baseline to immediately after the 8-week intervention. Parameters measured included forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV Results: After the intervention, there was a significant difference (p<0.01) between the AQUA and LAND groups compared to the CONTROL group for FEV Conclusion: The study found that a supervised twice weekly 8-week exercise training programme in water and on land improved lung function in children with post-COVID-19 condition.
