A telephone-based survey of current trends, habits and beliefs in patients receiving portable oxygen therapy in Madrid, Spain.
Article in ERJ open research, 2019. 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
Portable oxygen therapy is a major challenge for patients and clinicians. Additionally, the available evidence on this subject is poor considering that only a few studies have been published and the results have not been encouraging. We explored the current trends, habits and beliefs among patients receiving portable oxygen therapy in a geographical area of Madrid, Spain (4 051 862 inhabitants). A telephone-based survey was conducted among patients selected from a database who were undergoing portable oxygen therapy. The number of patients on home respiratory therapies on December 31, 2017 was 81 559 (prevalence 2013.30 per 100 000 inhabitants). A total of 19 492 patients were on home oxygen therapy (HOT) (prevalence 481.16 per 100 000 inhabitants). Of these, 4015 patients (20% of the total of patients on HOT) received ambulatory oxygen therapy. In the analysed period, 1942 patients were selected (57.31% male and 42.69% female). The mean±sd age was 73.89±11.67 years. Most of patients had portable oxygen concentrators (99.59%). The survey was completed by 1777 patients. Most of patients thought they had been prescribed HOT for respiratory failure. 55% of the participants surveyed reported having carried out a walking test with oxygen to know the amount of oxygen they needed. 71% of the participants reported leaving the home for between 1 and 3 h a day. Most of them were carrying portable devices in a wheeled cart (51.94%). Our study data obtained from a large sample of oxygen-dependent individuals provide valuable information regarding domiciliary and portable oxygen usage in Madrid.
