The effectiveness of large group demonstration training method on the use of pressurized metered-dose inhaler in elderly with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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
Background: Pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) is the most commonly used inhaler devices in community hospitals in Thailand. However, the research work on large group demonstration training method in the use of pMDI and pMDI with spacer in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is very limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this training method in elderly with COPD patients. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at COPD clinic, Chiang Dao Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand between June 2019 and July 2019. All patients being treated in the clinic were assessed for their inhalation technique and inspiratory flow. After the initial assessment, patients were given instructions regarding the correct inhalation technique of pMDI and pMDI with spacer devices through large group demonstration. One month later, inhalation techniques and inspiratory flow were re-assessed. Results: A total of 104 COPD patients were included, mean age 70.9±8.3 years, 51 (49.0%) male. At their first visit, 75.0% of pMDI and 81.7% of pMDI with spacer users performed at least one essential step incorrectly. After receiving large group demonstration training, there was a statistically significant increase in all devices; 26.7% Conclusions: The provision of large group training significantly increases the correct use of inhalation techniques and inspiratory flow for pMDI and pMDI with spacer in elderly with COPD.
