The impact of an Education-Based Intervention Program (EBIP) on dyspnea and chronic self-care management among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. A randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo evaluate the impact of dyspnea and chronic self-care management outcomes of an Education-Based Intervention Program (EBIP) compared to routine care. Methods: The population of the study consisted of self-care management scale of 61 patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stage 2 and within one month after discharge. A total of 51 conforming patients were divided into experimental and control groups for a single-blind randomized trial. Data were collected using an introductory information form, the baseline dyspnea index (BDI), pulmonary function test (PFT), the self-care management process in chronic illness (SCMP-G) scale and body mass index (BMI). There were no addition interventions to the control group. The intervention group underwent a 3-month EBIP intervention that included education, house visits and follow-ups through phone calls between March 2019 and June 2019. The data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests, χ2, Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. p less than 0.05 was statistically significant. Results: The study was completed with a total of 40 COPD patients. The effect of the EBIP training program on BDI, PFT, and SCMP-G scores in the intervention group was statistically proven (p less than 0.05). However, the differences between the groups in the BDI sub-dimension of functional impairment and PFT were not statistically significant (p greater than 0.05). Conclusion: Providing patients with illness-related education through EBIP provided a partial improvement in dyspnea and a significant improvement in chronic care management among COPD patients.
