Effect of physical activity on pulmonary function and quality of life in asthma patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Physical activity is increasingly recognized as a non-pharmacological adjunct in asthma management, yet existing systematic reviews are limited by single-modality scope, narrow age ranges, and inconsistent operationalization of pulmonary function outcomes. We comprehensively evaluated the effects of physical activity on pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with asthma across a broad age range and multiple exercise modalities. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and CNKI up to April 25, 2026, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of structured physical activity interventions ( ≥ 6 weeks) in asthma. The primary outcome was forced expiratory volume in 1 s as a percentage of predicted value (FEV Results: Twenty-two RCTs ( Conclusion: Physical activity is associated with improved FEV
