Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06804733 (Telemedicine-based Individualized Aerobic Exercise Training in Adults With Inactive or Mildly Active Inflammatory Bowel Disease), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in China exhibit critically low levels of physical activity, yet evidence for telemedicine-based aerobic exercise interventions remains scarce, particularly with objective physiological validation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this single-centre, open-labelled, semi-crossover randomised controlled trial, 28 inactive/mildly active adult IBD patients with low level of baseline physical activity will be randomly assigned to immediate or delayed 12-week telemedicine-based aerobic exercise training. The exercise prescription, stratified by baseline activity level, is designed to progressively elevate physical activity levels to moderate intensity. The telemedicine-based programme used fitness bands synchronised to a mobile app, WeChat-based real-time feedback and online group support and communication. The primary outcome is change in peak oxygen uptake measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Secondary outcomes include other cardiorespiratory fitness parameters measured by CPET, physical activity level measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, clinical disease activity, inflammatory markers, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, nutritional indices, Fatigue Severity Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The trial has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo University (KY2024SL379-01). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06804733.
