The Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Echocardiographic Parameters and Quality of Life in Patients with Primary Lung Disease.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe authors aimed to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on respiratory and echocardiographic parameters in patients with primary lung disease.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 55 patients who were admitted to the authors' hospital between January 2018 and December 2019 with respiratory complaints, diagnosed with primary lung disease and underwent PR. Echocardiographic parameters, respiratory parameters, 6-minute walk distance (6-MWT), body mass index, Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, and quality of life measurement score values measured before and after PR were retrieved from the patient database.
resultsAfter PR, a significant improvement was observed in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PABs), Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), TAPSE/PABs, and 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) compared to before PR. As the effectiveness of PR at quality of life was evaluated with the SF-36 test, improvement was found in all variables in the asthma group. However, a statistically significant improvement was found in parameters other than general health and pain in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) group.
conclusionPulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic lung disease is associated with improvement in both respiratory and cardiac functions and quality of life.
