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

backgroundGiven limited access to center-based, in-person pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), alternative delivery strategies are needed. RESEARCH QUESTION: We compared a virtual PR program with a conventional center-based one with respect to safety, feasibility/acceptability, and geographic catchment (primary outcomes). We explored efficacy by examining changes in functional outcomes (secondary outcomes). STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsThis single-center observational real-world report included patients enrolled from July 30, 2020, through June 30, 2023, who attended one or more PR class. Patients undergoing virtual PR exercised in their homes under direct supervision via two-way audiovisual teleconferencing. Baseline demographic information and adverse events were extracted from electronic medical records. Google Maps estimated distance and drive time from residential addresses to the PR center. Intake and exit evaluations for secondary (functional) outcomes and feedback questionnaires were completed in a subset.

resultsA total of 120 (52 in-person and 68 virtual) patient enrollments were examined; 84% of patients had COPD. Mean age, FEV

interpretationThis study suggests that two-way audiovisual teleconferenced PR is safe, feasible/acceptable, and significantly expands geographic catchment.
