A Clinical Perspective on the Role of Electronic Devices in Monitoring and Promoting Adherence in Airways Disease.
Article in Frontiers in medical technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Poor adherence to treatment is a common reason why patients with chronic disease have worse outcomes than might be expected. Poor treatment adherence is of particular concern among people with airways disease because, apart from not taking treatment as prescribed, inhaled medication can also be administered incorrectly. Recently, a number of technological advances that accurately document when an inhaled treatment has been used and, in certain instances, how it was used have been developed. There is good evidence from a number of research groups that these devices, either by patient reminders or physician feedback, promote adherence to inhaled treatments. What is less certain is how, in a real-world setting, these devices change outcomes. In this perspective article, the role of electronic devices in quantifying treatment use and addressing poor treatment adherence and their potential role in clinical practice outside of clinical validation trials are described.
