ITM support for patients with chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 3 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
introductionSimple and scalable strategies are needed to improve 'out-of-hospital' support and management for people living with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory disease. Text messaging via mobile phones has been shown to be effective in helping promote lifestyle change and is supported by quantitative and qualitative evidence. The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness and implementation of a 6-month text messaging support programme for people with CVD and respiratory disease as an addition to cardiac and pulmonary outpatient rehabilitation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Pragmatic randomised controlled trial (n=310) to test the effectiveness of a 6-month text message support programme on clinical outcomes in people with CVD and chronic respiratory disease who are attending outpatient cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. The study includes a nested process evaluation to inform scalability and implementation across settings. The intervention group will receive a text message support programme comprising five messages per week for 26 weeks and the control group will continue with standard care. The primary outcome is exercise capacity (6 min walk distance). Secondary outcomes include clinical measures (proportion of people meeting the Australian guideline-recommended blood pressure and cholesterol targets), lifestyle outcomes (smoking rates, achievement of national guidelines for nutrition and physical activity), quality of life, mood (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), medication adherence and attendance at and completion of rehabilitation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Primary ethics approval was received from the Sydney Local Health District Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee and associated Governance committees at sites. Results will be disseminated via the usual scientific forums including peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences. At its conclusion, the study will determine the effectiveness and implementation of a simple programme that aims to improve health outcomes and attendance at rehabilitation for people with CVD and chronic respiratory disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ACTRN12616001167459.
