Effects of using wearable devices to monitoring physical activity in pulmonary rehabilitation programs for chronic respiratory diseases: A systematic review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionPulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an intervention aimed at the comprehensive care of individuals with chronic respiratory diseases. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma present low levels of physical fitness because they avoid physical exercises due to the fear of triggering recurrent symptoms. Wearable devices have been integrated into behavioral modification interventions for physical activity in PR protocols. Therefore, this review aims to identify how wearable devices are being utilized for monitoring chronic respiratory diseases in pulmonary rehabilitation programs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Searches will be conducted on Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase (CENTRAL), CINAHL and PEDro electronic databases, as well as a search in the grey literature. We will include baseline data from randomized clinical trials reporting the use of wearable devices for monitoring physical activity in protocols for pulmonary rehabilitation programs for chronic respiratory diseases. Studies that discuss only the development of algorithms or applications for the assessment of diseases or unavailable full texts will be excluded. The main reviewer will conduct the initial search and exclusion of duplicates, while two independent reviewers will select studies, extract data, and assess the methodological quality using the PEDro tool. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024504137.
