Utility of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Review.
Review in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease defined by airflow obstruction with a high morbidity and mortality and significant economic burden. Although pulmonary function testing is the cornerstone in diagnosis of COPD, it cannot fully characterize disease severity or cause of dyspnea because of disease heterogeneity and variable related and comorbid conditions affecting cardiac, vascular, and musculoskeletal systems. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a valuable tool for assessing physical function in a wide range of clinical conditions, including COPD. Familiarity with measurements made during CPET and its potential to aid in clinical decision-making related to COPD can thus be useful to clinicians caring for this population. This review highlights pulmonary and extrapulmonary impairments that can contribute to exercise limitation in COPD. Key elements of CPET are identified with an emphasis on measurements most relevant to COPD. Finally, clinical applications of CPET demonstrated to be of value in the COPD setting are identified. These include quantifying functional capacity, differentiating among potential causes of symptoms and limitation, prognostication and risk assessment for operative procedures, and guiding exercise prescription.
