Physical capacity and inactivity in obstructive airway diseases: a "can do, do do" analysis.
Article in ERJ open research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Physical capacity is an important determinant of physical activity in people with obstructive airway disease (OAD). This study aimed to extend the "can do, do do" concept in people with OAD, to identify if people categorised into quadrants based on physical capacity and activity differ by clinical and movement behaviour characteristics. Methods: A total of 281 participants (bronchiectasis n=60, severe asthma n=93, COPD n=70 and control n=58) completed assessments to characterise physical capacity as "can do" Results: The control group had a greater proportion of people in the "can do, do do" quadrant compared with the OAD groups (76% Discussion: This study highlights that many people with OAD may be inactive because they do not have the physical capacity to participate in MVPA, which is further impacted by greater disease severity. It is important to consider the potential benefits of addressing LPA and sedentary behaviour due to suboptimal levels of these movement behaviours across different quadrants. Future research is needed to investigate if tailoring intervention approaches based on quadrant allocation is effective in people with OAD.
