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: Physical activity is crucial in slowing COPD progression and reducing mortality, yet the influence of the neighbourhood's sociodemographic and socioeconomic environment on it remains unexplored. Our aim is to assess the relationship between these neighbourhood characteristics and physical activity in people with COPD. Methods: We analysed cross-sectional data from 407 COPD participants from primary care and hospitals of five Catalan municipalities. We obtained neighbourhood percentages of sociodemographic (older adults and non-EU15 immigrants) and socioeconomic (illiteracy, unemployment and households in poor-conditioned buildings) characteristics from the Spanish Urban Vulnerability Atlas. Over 1 week, we tracked steps per day, time spent in physical activity of any intensity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time using an activity monitor. Results: After adjusting for age, sex, marital status, social class, road traffic noise levels and PM Conclusion: A neighbourhood's percentages of older adults and non-EU15 immigrants are associated with physical activity of COPD patients.
