1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is recommended for people with chronic respiratory diseases, but access is limited. Delivering PR in primary care may overcome these barriers; however, physiotherapists and Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) report limited PR experience. Aim: to investigate the changes in knowledge, skills, and confidence following an education program for physiotherapists and AEPs in PR delivery in primary care. Primary care physiotherapists or AEPs undertook an education program of 6-8 hours online training and a half-day face-to-face workshop. 17 clinicians completed the training. Median (IQR) knowledge scores increased from 7 (6,8) at baseline to 10 (9,11) post-training (
