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

Post-tuberculosis sequelae (PTBS) constitute a significant but underrecognised global health burden, especially in high TB-incidence countries. Although the microbiological cure of tuberculosis (TB) is prioritised within national TB programmes, residual structural and functional pulmonary impairments often persist. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR)-a multidisciplinary intervention has shown compelling efficacy in addressing chronic respiratory limitations, psychological distress, and compromised quality of life in PTBS patients. This review consolidates current evidence, including findings from different interventional study in India, to propose integration of PR into routine post-TB care and advocate for its inclusion in national policies in high-burden settings.
