Factors influencing the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a prospective study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objective: To investigate the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in older adults with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze its influencing factors. Methods: From January 2023 to April 2024, convenience sampling was adopted to collect 254 stable patients with COPD who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in a Classiii hospital in Nantong City as the research objects. Among them, 196 patients completed the PR course and were finally included in the study. According to the PR benefit criteria, they were divided into the benefit group and the non-benefit group, and the incidence of benefit and influencing factors were analyzed. The generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to plot the trend profiles of physical capacity and quality of life before rehabilitation and at 3, 6, and 9 weeks after rehabilitation. Results: A total of 196 patients completed the PR course, 107 patients achieved PR benefit, benefit at a rate of 54.59%. Logistic regression analysis showed that, Chronic pain (OR = 0.43, 95%Cl:0.22 ~ 0.83, Conclusion: The PR benefit rate of patients with clinically stable COPD is low, which is mainly affected by the baseline 6MWD, chronic pain, sarcopenia, economic situation, and family care index. Clinical medical staff should consider the influencing factors when they perform PR for patients.
