1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAlthough it is well-known that persons with COPD experience lower health related quality of life (HRQoL), little is known about the importance of self-management related domains on HRQoL in persons with COPD. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine associations between self-management related domains and HRQoL, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, self-efficacy, and sense of coherence.

methodsCross-sectional data of 225 persons with COPD, recruited from a hospital register, were analyzed. Self-management related domains were measured using the Health education impact questionnaire (heiQ) and HRQoL was measured using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was used.

resultsThe final models showed significant associations between the self-management domains constructive attitudes and approaches and emotional distress and HRQoL. Dyspnea, number of comorbidities, self-efficacy, and the various self-management related domains explained 51.3 to 55.1% of the variance in HRQoL.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that addressing self-management related domains, in addition to self-efficacy, dyspnea, and comorbidities, may be of importance for enhancement of HRQoL in persons with COPD.
