The short version: the full text of the ERS 2025 abstract PA1710 is not in the evidence you provided, and it is likely only available to European Respiratory Society members or via pay-per-view.

The evidence does not contain the full text of the study you linked. The 2025 abstract titled "Dose-ranging trial of creatine supplementation (6g vs 18g vs placebo) in patients with COPD undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation" is a conference abstract published in the European Respiratory Journal. Conference abstracts typically include only a summary of methods and results, not the complete study methods, full data tables, or detailed safety information. The full text usually must be requested from the authors or accessed through a subscription.

The evidence you provided covers creatine's effects in healthy athletes [1, 2, 6] and older adults [9], but none of these records are the 2025 ERS trial. A 2010 systematic review of creatine in COPD patients that is referenced in the evidence found no benefit for exercise capacity or quality of life across four small trials [11]. The evidence also includes two 2024 studies on creatine in long COVID: one found that creatine combined with breathing exercises reduced respiratory discomfort [11]; the other found that creatine with glucose alleviated clinical features of long COVID [11].

To get the full text of PA1710, you would need ERS membership access, purchase the article through the journal's pay-per-view system, or contact the corresponding authors (Maercio Santos, Mariana Dorna, Adriele Costa) directly for a preprint or supplementary data.

My call: the full text of the ERS 2025 abstract is not available in the evidence provided and requires paid access or direct author request. Confidence: high that the text is absent from this retrieval.
