Effect of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation on ventilation dynamics and small airway dysfunction in people with post-tuberculosis lung disease.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: As the world moves toward eliminating tuberculosis (TB), there is a large population of TB survivors who still face a significant burden of TB complications. However, basic pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) packages for this population are currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of home-based PRP (HBPRP) on lung mechanics, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in people with PTLD (pwPTLD). Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study in pwPTLD who underwent HBPRP for 3 months. Before and after HBPRP, the following assessments were performed: QoL using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), general fatigue using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), handgrip strength (HGS), pulmonary function, and functional exercise capacity using the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) coupled with measurement of dynamic ventilation. Results: When comparing pre- and post-HBPRP values, there was a significant increase in TGlittre time [208 (194-249) vs. 184 (153-211) seconds, Conclusions: In pwPTLD, HBPRP improves exercise tolerance, QoL, and SAD, with no effect on general fatigue and HGS. Therefore, TB programs should ensure the availability of PRP for pwPTLD, including HBPRP.
