Primary care patients with mild or stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease need more support in disease management: a secondary analysis of a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02213809 (Effect of Case Method Education to General Practitioners on Their Knowledge on COPD and on the Health of Their Patients With COPD), which is not on this map.

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
objectivePatient education based on the patient's individual needs and circumstances is known to be associated with positive changes in clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to assess the levels of patients' subjective needs for information about COPD before and after their general practitioners had taken part in a COPD education.
designA secondary analysis of a cluster randomized controlled trial.
setting22 PHCCs in Stockholm, Sweden. SUBJECTS: Randomly selected primary care patients with COPD in GOLD stages 2 and 3 ( OUTCOME MEASURES: Scores in the Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ) at baseline and 18 months, spirometry results, and self-reported, descriptive patient data.
resultsGPs' improved skills in COPD did not affect patients' self-management skills over time. In general, patients' information needs remained great in issues concerning diet, exercise and self-management. However, 43% of the patients reported reduced and 57% increased or unchanged information needs, over time. Reduced information needs were mainly associated with a high level of information needs at baseline (OR = 3.17 [95% CI 1.93-5.23],
conclusionPatients' information needs are substantial in most areas of self-management of COPD, and seem to covary with the patient's current clinical status. Care providers should thus continuously be vigilant about offering all patients with COPD support and education.
