Evaluating the feasibility, acceptability and pre testing the impact of a self-management and tele monitoring program for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in Lebanon: Protocol for a feasibility study.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a significant impact on quality of life and is costly to the health care system. It has been demonstrated that a self-management program improves quality of life, but programs are not universally available and telehealth interventions can provide home-based support, but have mixed results.
aimThe aims of this study are to (1) assess the feasibility and acceptability of a 6 weeks' educational program related to self-management with remote monitoring for Lebanese COPD patients; (2) pre-test its impact on quality of life, emergency visits, and rate of rehospitalization, and (3) to make recommendations for a future randomized trial.
methodsValidated questionnaires will be adapted to meet the context of our study in terms of acceptability, adoption, adequacy, fidelity, cost, and coverage. The impact of this program on quality of life will be measured with the COPD assessment test (CAT) and the COPD clinical questionnaire (CCQ), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale will be used to measure anxiety. All measures will be delivered pre- and post-intervention. To evaluate the impact of our program on the rate of hospitalization and emergency visits, the number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits during the year preceding the intervention will be collected from the hospital register of each participant. DISCUSSION: This study is the first to evaluate the application of telehealth to optimize COPD management in Lebanon. The results of this study will provide evidence regarding the efficacy and feasibility of this approach for Lebanese patients with moderate to severe COPD.
