Lung disease burden assessment by oscillometry in a systematically disadvantaged urban population experiencing homelessness or at-risk for homelessness in Ottawa, Canada from a prospective observational study.
Observational study in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03626064 (Management and Point-of-Care for Tobacco Dependence), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
rationaleOscillometry is an emerging technique that offers some advantages over spirometry as it does not require forced exhalation and may detect early changes in respiratory pathology. Obstructive lung disease disproportionately impacts people experiencing homelessness with a high symptoms burden, yet oscillometry is not studied in this population.
objectivesTo assess lung disease and symptom burden using oscillometry in people experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness using a community-based participatory action research approach (The Bridge Model™).
methodsOf 80 recruited, 55 completed baseline oscillometry, 64 completed spirometry, and all completed patient-reported outcomes with demographics, health, and respiratory symptom related questionnaires in the Participatory Research in Ottawa: Management and Point-of-Care for Tobacco Dependence project. Using a two-tail t-test, we compared mean oscillometry values for airway resistance (R
resultsThere was no significant difference between the pre- and post- bronchodilator values of R
conclusionsOscillometry is associated with respiratory symptom burden and highlights the need for future studies to generate more robust data regarding the use of oscillometry in systematically disadvantaged populations where disease burden is disproportionately higher than the general population.
