Association between Social Support and Self-Care Behaviors in Adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Observational study in Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01074515 (Depression and Functional Outcomes in COPD), which is not on this map. Cited by 51 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
rationaleHigher social support is associated with a better quality of life and functioning in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
objectivesTo determine the association between structural and functional social support and self-care behaviors in adults with COPD.
methodsThis was a longitudinal study using data from the CASCADE (COPD Activity: Serotonin Transporter, Cytokines, and Depression) study, which was focused on depression and functioning in COPD. Physical activity was measured with a validated accelerometer at baseline, year 1, and year 2. Additional self-care behaviors included pulmonary rehabilitation attendance, smoking status, receipt of influenza and/or pneumococcal vaccinations, and medication adherence. Structural social support indicators included living status, being partnered, number of close friends/relatives, and presence of a family caregiver. Functional social support was measured with the Medical Outcomes Social Support Survey (MOSSS). Mixed-effects and logistic regression models were used.
resultsA total of 282 participants with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage II to IV COPD were included (age, 68 ± 9 yr; 80% men; FEV
conclusionsStructural social support, which was measured by reports of living with others and having a caregiver, was respectively associated with higher levels of physical activity and greater participation in pulmonary rehabilitation in adults with COPD. Our findings reinforce the critical importance of the social environment in shaping patients' success with self-care. Clinical Trial registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01074515).
