Patient perspectives on fluticasone-vilanterol versus other corticosteroid combination products for the treatment of asthma.
Review in Patient preference and adherence, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveFluticasone furoate (FF), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting beta2 receptor agonist (LABA), is a new combination used in an Ellipta(®) device. This article compares FF-VI to other ICS-LABA combinations available, particularly emphasizing product selection from the patient perspective. DATA SOURCES: A PubMED and EMBASE search completed in October 2015 identified trials using the MeSH terms "fluticasone", "vilanterol", and "asthma". Additional information was gathered from references cited in the identified publications, the manufacturer, package insert, and ClinicalTrials.gov registry. STUDY SELECTION/DATA EXTRACTION: Preference was given to randomized controlled clinical trials. Animal trials, trials for COPD, and non-English sources were excluded. DATA SYNTHESIS: Seven efficacy trials of FF-VI in asthma were identified. Only one (24 weeks) trial compared FF-VI to another ICS-LABA combination (fluticasone propionate-salmeterol). Primary outcomes (usually lung function) and secondary outcomes (eg, quality of life and symptom scores) were comparable. In three FF-VI safety trials, the type and frequency of common adverse reactions (ie, thrush and dysphonia) were similar to those in clinical trials. Over 90% of subjects rated the Ellipta(®) device as "easy to use" and demonstrated correct device technique initially and at 4 weeks.
conclusionIndividuals may have drug- and device-specific preferences that should be incorporated into therapeutic decision making. Limited data indicate that clinical and patient-oriented efficacy/safety outcomes of FF-VI are likely comparable to other available combinations for adults with asthma. Patient-friendly features include once-daily dosing, flexibility of dose timing, and design/ease of the use of the device. Additional larger and long-term comparative studies are needed to determine whether these features translate into greater efficacy, safety, patient preference, or adherence versus other ICS-LABA combinations. In the next few years, the availability of less expensive generic ICS-LABA products may strongly influence patient preference.
