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: This review aims to identify which cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) derived variables can be used to personalise pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for people with interstitial lung diseases. A 'one size fits all' approach does not benefit every patient due to a multitude of unique characteristics, subsets and phenotypes. No ILD-specific, tailored pulmonary rehabilitation guidelines exist in this area and exercise programme development is lacking. This leads to wide variation in the success within the literature and clinical practice. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be searched to identify studies that utilise CPET variables for PR development. Quality assessment is to be performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklists for single cohort studies and randomised controlled studies. Discussion: The primary outcomes found within the included studies for peak volume of oxygen consumption (VO Registration: In accordance with the guidelines, this systematic review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on 07 May 2024 (registration number CRD42024543174).
