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

objectiveTo explore and understand the perception of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis diagnosis regarding the integration of a home physical exercise program into their daily routine.

methodsThis study used a qualitative method. Children and adolescents diagnosed with cystic fibrosis who were being followed up in a home exercise program participated by answering a semi-structured, face-to-face interview. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique.

resultsData from 38 participants were collected: 29 were pre-school/school ages (between six and 12 years old), nine were adolescents (between 13 and 16 years old). The median age of the participants was ten (interquartile range 8-10) years. Three thematic categories were identified from analyzing the interviews using a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory methodology: 1) I feel that I am better; 2) I did almost everything (all the exercises of the daily routine); 3) "If I could remove one exercise…" (the expression of preferences).

conclusionsThe perception of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis diagnosis who completed the home exercise program was that it improved their health condition. This type of program positively changed the participants' perception of their symptoms and may allow participants diagnosed with cystic fibrosis to have greater engagement and adherence to their care.
