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

The impact of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), functional capacity and compliance in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is of interest. Ten patients participated in a 3-month PR program, which significantly improved 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores. High compliance (90%) was observed, with improvements in breathlessness and recovery perception. Thus, we show that PR is effective in enhancing HRQOL and functional capacity in ILD patients. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess long-term benefits.
