Summary of Strategy

Lines 1 & 29 are the Cochrane RCT filter.
Lines 30 to 37 are the Cochrane cystic fibrosis filter.
Lines 38 to 45 were to isolate the intervention of interest.
The remainder were to combine these three themes.

Summary of strategy

PEDro is a database of controlled clinical trials, therefore no specific design oriented search terms.
All terms were geared to isolate the condition and the intervention.
The returned citations were then manually combined to be specific to the review question.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC: forced vital capacity; HRQoL: health related quality of life;NA: not applicable; VO₂max: maximal oxygen uptake.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1. The resistance level of the respiratory muscle training intervention was variable; three studies used 80% of maximal effort, one study used 60% of maximal effort, one study used 40% of maximal effort, one study used 30% of maximal effort and three studies did not specify the level of resistance. Control groups were also variable; cycle ergometer, H20, treatment as usual, standard chest physiotherapy, low resistance threshold loading device, no training or sham training.

2. Downgraded twice due to serious risk of bias: the included studies lacked methodological detail relating to methods of randomisation, allocation concealment and blinding. Most of the studies were at high risk of bias due to lack of blinding, incomplete outcome data or selective reporting, or both.

3. Downgraded due to imprecision: studies included a small number of participants and numerical results were not available for some of the studies.
