Defining nonresponse to pulmonary rehabilitation by threshold scores for personality traits: a population-based study.
Article in ERJ open research, 2026. 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: Personality traits have been associated with the risk of nonresponse to therapeutic interventions such as pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). To optimise the tailoring of PR based on personality traits, this study aimed to extend existing knowledge on the relationship between personality traits and the risk of nonresponse to inpatient PR, and to define optimal threshold scores for personality traits to accurately predict nonresponse. Method: 719 patients with chronic respiratory diseases were included across three centres in a multidisciplinary inpatient PR following international guidelines ( Results: Controlling for sociodemographic and clinical covariates, higher neuroticism was associated with a higher risk of nonresponse to health-related quality of life (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.10-1.65), whereas higher agreeableness was related to a lower risk (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.65-0.98). No accurate threshold scores were identified (AUC Conclusions: Based on a large sample of patients with chronic respiratory diseases, this study shows that personality traits are associated with nonresponse to health-related quality of life in inpatient PR, suggesting continuous rather than threshold-based effects. Future studies should explore novel approaches to modify personality traits-linked response in PR, such as psychological strategies.
