Comprehensive exercise program based on optimal physiotherapy for asthma-related quality of life: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Exercise is an effective treatment for asthma, but there is still ongoing debate regarding the most beneficial form of exercise. This study used data from randomized controlled trials to compare and rank the types of exercise that improve asthma-related quality of life (QOL) in patients [total score and four subdomain scores (symptoms, activity limitations, emotional functions, and environmental stimulants)]. Method: This study was meticulously conducted using a rigorous methodology. We included randomized controlled trials of 10 types (two major categories: single-mode exercise and comprehensive-mode exercise) of exercise for the interventional treatment of asthmatics (≥16 years old). The effect size measures were standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% credible intervals (CrIs). The confidence of evidence was examined using Confidence in network meta-analysis. The study protocol has been registered with PROSPERO under registration number CRD420251110553. Result: We identified 1,237 citations based on 35 studies involving 3,946 participants. Compared with the control group, all comprehensive-mode exercises (yoga, aerobic combined with breathing or resistance exercise) significantly improved the total score of asthma-related QOL (and four subdomain scores) among participants, and the SMDs [95% Credible Interval (CrI)] ranged between 2.26 (1.63 to 2.90) for Yoga to 1.06 (0.01 to 2.11) for high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Notably, HIIT demonstrated promising trends in improving asthma-related QOL compared to moderate-intensity aerobic exercises ( Conclusion: Various comprehensive exercise modes are the best way to improve asthma-related QOL in patients. The exercise period will affect the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251110553, PROSPERO CRD420251110553.
