Minimal clinically important difference in physical activity in people with asthma.
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 3 papers.
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
Background: Previous studies have shown that increasing physical activity in daily life (PADL) improves asthma clinical control and quality of life. However, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) to promote those improvements remains unclear. The aim of this study was to estimate the MCID for PADL in people with moderate-to-severe asthma. Methods: Data from consecutive individuals with moderate-to-severe asthma who completed an 8-week (once weekly) face-to-face behavioural intervention to increase PADL were included to compute the MCID. The MCID was estimated based on the number of steps·day Results: The MCID estimates for steps·day Conclusion: The MCIDs proposed in this study are 1413 steps for steps·day
