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

Objective: To evaluate the effect of various exercise interventions on lung function, specifically forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Methods: This systematic review followed preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and was prospectively registered in international prospective register of systematic reviews. PubMed, Google Scholar, OVID, and Web of Science were systematically searched. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials enrolling cystic fibrosis (CF) patients aged 7 or older, reporting outcomes related to pulmonary function, cardiorespiratory fitness, or muscle strength following aerobic, resistance, or mixed exercise interventions. Results: A total of 1,033 articles were identified through the database search. After screening and eligibility assessment, 4 randomized controlled trials involving 156 participants met the inclusion criteria. Both supervised and wearable activity tracker (WAT)-based exercise programs significantly improved VO Conclusion: Structured exercise, particularly WAT based or supervised, supports better physical fitness in CF. Standardized protocols, longer-term follow-up, diverse participant inclusion, and strategies to improve adherence are needed in future research.
