Trial reportBMC pulmonary medicine2022
A pragmatic randomised controlled trial of tailored pulmonary rehabilitation in participants with difficult-to-control asthma and elevated body mass index.
Trial report 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 NCT03630432 (A Pragmatic, Randomised, Controlled, Trial of the Effect of a Tailored Pulmonary Rehabilitation Package in Uncontrolled Asthma Associated With Elevated Body Mass Index), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
backgroundDifficult-to-control asthma associated with elevated body mass index (BMI) is challenging with limited treatment options. The effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in this population are uncertain.
methodsThis is a randomised controlled trial of an eight-week asthma-tailored PR programme versus usual care (UC) in participants with difficult-to-control asthma and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
results95 participants were randomised 1:1 to PR or UC. Median age was 54 years, 60% were female and median BMI was 33.8 kg/m
conclusionsPR improved asthma control and reduced perceived breathlessness in participants with difficult-to-control asthma and elevated BMI. However, this format appears to be suboptimal for this population with high drop-out rates and prolonged time to completion. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov. ID NCT03630432. Retrospectively registered, submitted May 26th 2017, posted August 14th 2018.
