Controller Inhalers: Overview of Devices, Instructions for Use, Errors, and Interventions to Improve Technique.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Inadequate inhaler technique in persistent asthma is frequently reported. However, there is little consensus on inhaler checklists, and critical elements of technique are not uniformly described. In addition, inhaler error rates and risk factors for poor technique are variable across studies. This Clinical Commentary Review summarizes the literature on inhaler design, use, and interventions to improve technique. Our aim is to help clinicians identify patients with poor inhaler technique, recognize the most important errors, and correct technique using evidence-based interventions.
