Comparing the Effects of Face-to-face and Video-based Education on Inhaler Use: A Randomized, Two-group Pretest/posttest Study.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe quality of inhaler use can significantly affect the effectiveness of inhalation medications. This study was done to compare the effects of face-to-face and video-based education methods on inhaler use. MATERIALS AND
methodsA quasi-experimental, pretest/posttest clinical trial study was conducted on 120 patients with respiratory diseases who were under treatment with metered-dose inhalers. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups to receive either face-to-face (
resultsAt baseline, the groups did not differ significantly in inhaler use as shown by the mean score (
conclusionsBoth face-to-face and video-based education methods significantly improve inhaler use, even though the effects of the face-to-face method are significantly greater. Nurses can use either of these two methods or both for education of patients about inhaler use.
