Accuracy, Reproducibility, and Responsiveness to Treatment of Home Spirometry in Cystic Fibrosis: Multicenter, Retrospective, Observational Study.
Observational study in Journal of medical Internet research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPortable spirometers are increasingly used to measure lung function at home, but doubts about the accuracy of these devices persist. These doubts stand in the way of the digital transition of chronic respiratory disease care, hence there is a need to address the accuracy of home spirometry in routine care across multiple settings and ages.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the accuracy, reproducibility, and responsiveness to the treatment of home spirometry in long-term pediatric and adult cystic fibrosis care.
methodsThis retrospective observational study was carried out in 5 Dutch cystic fibrosis centers. Home spirometry outcomes (forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV
resultsBland-Altman analysis was performed for 86 same-day clinic-home spirometry pairs and for 263 nearest neighbor clinic-home spirometry pairs (n=81). For both sets and for both FEV
conclusionsHome spirometry is feasible but not equal to clinic spirometry. Home spirometry can confirm whether lung functions remain stable, but the context of measurement and personal trends are more relevant than absolute outcomes.
