Closer to an 'ideal inhaler' with the Easyhaler: an innovative dry powder inhaler.
Review in Clinical drug investigation, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
The characteristics of an ideal inhaler are based around the design and formulation of the device, patient use and the clinical effect, together with concordance and patient preference. To ensure consistent drug delivery to the lungs, with regular adherence to the prescribed dosage regimen, it is essential that all these characteristics simultaneously interact to provide smooth and sustained therapeutic control affected only by the clinical status of the patient. The literature highlights that dose emission from an Easyhaler is fairly consistent irrespective of the inhalation technique used by patients of all age groups. Clinical studies have shown equivalence of this device to those frequently prescribed and that it is preferred by many patients. Although further research is required into the development of inhalation devices, the literature describing the Easyhaler dry powder inhaler indicates how an inhaler can closely meet the criteria for an ideal inhaler.
