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

backgroundIndividuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) demonstrated reduced quality of life and a high prevalence of anxiety and depression. Because physical exercise enhances the perception of happiness in healthy individuals, this study hypothesized that pulmonary rehabilitation could improve happiness in individuals with COPD.

objectiveTo assess the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on the perception of happiness in individuals with COPD compared with usual care.

methodsA randomized clinical trial. Individuals with COPD divided into two groups: control group (CG) and rehabilitation group (RG). Both groups received usual care, and RG also received an eight-week pulmonary rehabilitation program with aerobic and resistance exercises. Assessments were conducted before and immediately after the rehabilitation program. The primary outcomes was Happiness (Subjective Happiness Scale and the Cantril Ladder). The secondary outcomes were Life Satisfaction Scale, six-minute walk test (6MWT), timed up-and-go test, sit-to-stand test, handgrip strength, dyspnea, fatigue, Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

resultsForty-one individuals participated (68 ± 9 years, 59% male, FEV₁: 59 ± 18% predicted), composing the CG (n = 20) and RG (n = 21). Significant differences were observed favouring RG in the Subjective Happiness Scale (1 point; 95% CI: 0 - 1; p < 0,05), Cantril Ladder (2 points; 95% CI: 2 - 3; p < 0,05), and all secondary outcomes.

conclusionIndividuals with COPD who underwent pulmonary rehabilitation showed a significant increase in perception of happiness compared with usual care.
