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

backgroundAsthma control, one of the most important goals in the management of asthmatic patients, requires good adherence to guidelines and support at a territorial level, in particular on the part of general practitioners (GPs). A territorial hospital alliance can become a strength in asthma management, where control by GPs can also be carried out through a spirometric examination.

methodsThe realisation of a telecounselling model management of asthma between GPs and specialists was the aim of this study, to understand how to obtain good asthma control. A specific digital platform, the PneumoApp platform, was used for the insertion of clinical data and flow volume (F-V) curves, performed in asthmatic patients by GPs, and for the subsequent evaluation of these data by specialists.

resultsGPs have shown to be able to perform a check-up of respiratory function well using a portable spirometer, but the analysis of the collected data showed that GP assessment of the severity level of asthma is incorrect in patients with moderate-severe asthma.

conclusionsThe effectiveness of a telecounselling collaboration between hospital and territory in the management of asthma patients can be improved by greater diffusion of the use of Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines at a local level.
