Effectiveness and Treatment Compliance of Salmeterol-Fluticasone Easyhaler
Article in Pulmonary therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionFor inhalation therapies to be effective, it is crucial that patients manage inhaler use correctly in their everyday life and achieve treatment compliance. We investigated the effectiveness of the salmeterol-fluticasone propionate Easyhaler
methodsA prospective, open-label, multicenter, noninterventional, investigator-sponsored study was conducted in outpatient pneumonology centers. Eligible patients were aged ≥ 18 years with either a new diagnosis of asthma, COPD, or ACO, or whose disease was not controlled with preexisting medication. Data were collected at baseline and 12 + 4 weeks, including the asthma control test (ACT), COPD assessment test (CAT), spirometry parameters [including forced expiratory volume for 1 s (FEV
resultsFive hundred sixteen patients were recruited from 103 centers: 376 with asthma; 104 with COPD; and 36 with ACO. At week 12, there were significant improvements from baseline in both mean ACT score in patients with asthma (14.4 ± 4.2 versus 21.4 ± 2.8; P < 0.001) and mean CAT score in patients with COPD (24.0 ± 6.1 versus 16.0 ± 5.8; P < 0.001). Significant improvement was observed when the switch from the most frequently used previous inhalers was analyzed separately. Mean FEV
conclusionsTreatment with SF EH significantly improved patients' lung function parameters and disease control.
