Basic spirometry testing and interpretation for the primary care provider.
Article in Canadian journal of respiratory therapy : CJRT = Revue canadienne de la therapie respiratoire : RCTR, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Spirometry testing plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of COPD and asthma in the primary care setting. Verifying the accuracy of the spirometer, using accurate patient demographics and appropriate reference equations, and ensuring the competency of testing personnel are key components of spirometry test interpretation. Spirometry testing plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of lung disease in the primary care setting. Spirometry interpretation should include an assessment of test quality and be based on sound statistical principals.
