Assessing the use of BreatheSmart® mobile technology in adult patients with asthma: a remote observational study.
Article in BMJ open respiratory research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03103880 (Assessing the Use of Digital Therapeutic in Adult Asthma Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 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
introductionNon-adherence to asthma daily controller medications is a common problem, reported to be responsible for 60% of asthma-related hospitalisations. The mean level of adherence for asthma medications is estimated to be as low as 22%. Therefore, objective measurements of adherence to medicine are necessary. This virtual observational study is designed to measure the usability of an electronic monitoring device platform that measures adherence. Understanding how patients use the BreatheSmart mobile technology at home is essential to assess its feasibility as a solution to improve medication adherence. We anticipate this approach can be applied to real-world environments as a cost-effective solution to improve medication adherence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a virtual 6-month observational study of 100 adults (≥18 years) with an asthma diagnosis, using inhaled corticosteroids for at least 3 months. Participants will be recruited in the USA through ad placements online. All participants receive wireless Bluetooth-enabled inhaler sensors that track medication usage and an mSpirometer ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical or safety concerns pertain to the collection of these data. Results of this research are planned to be published as soon as available. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03103880.
