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.

Abstract
purposeAnatomical and physiological changes impair pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and physical activity in patients who underwent pneumonectomy for lung cancer (LC). No study investigated upper extremity exercise capacity and muscle oxygenation in these patients. The main objective of the study was to compare the long-term upper extremity exercise capacity and muscle oxygenation; the secondary objective was to assess pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, and physical activity levels in patients who underwent pneumonectomy for LC and healthy individuals.
methodsNineteen patients who underwent pneumonectomy for LC and 19 healthy controls were included. Pulmonary function (spirometry), upper extremity functional exercise capacity (6-min pegboard and ring test (6-PBRT)), muscle oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy), respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures) and endurance (incremental threshold loading), and physical activity (activity monitor) were evaluated.
resultsPatients' pulmonary function, 6-PBRT score, muscle oxygen saturation (SmO
conclusionUpper extremity functional exercise capacity and muscle oxygenation are impaired in patients who underwent pneumonectomy for LC. Pulmonary function and physical activity levels are decreased. Inspiratory and expiratory muscles are weakened, and respiratory muscle endurance is reduced. It is crucial to evaluate patients in the early postoperative period and to incorporate cardiopulmonary rehabilitation to improve these severe impairments. It is recommended that the effects of upper extremity exercise training be investigated.
