Unlocking Better Asthma Control: A Narrative Review of Adherence to Asthma Therapy and Innovative Monitoring Solutions.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
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
This review addresses the ongoing challenges in asthma management, particularly focusing on patient adherence to inhaler therapy. Asthma, a chronic condition characterized by variable respiratory symptoms and airflow obstruction, can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not properly managed. Despite advances in inhaler technology and therapeutic options, non-adherence remains a significant barrier to optimal asthma control. This review explores both intentional and unintentional non-adherence, influenced by factors such as age, socioeconomic status, and the complexity of inhaler devices. The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) provides guidelines aimed at improving adherence through targeted interventions, and this review examines their application. Common inhaler technique errors, including incorrect inhalation speed, not exhaling before inhaling, and failure to hold breath post-inhalation, are identified as major contributors to inadequate asthma control. Furthermore, the review explores the emerging role of electronic monitoring devices (EMDs), such as CapMedic and DigiHaler, which offer real-time feedback to enhance inhaler technique and adherence. The role of biomarkers in assessing adherence and the potential of personalized treatment strategies, including biologic therapies, are also discussed. Overall, addressing adherence requires a comprehensive approach that integrates patient education, tailored interventions, and technological innovations to achieve better clinical outcomes in asthma management.
