Impact of Telecounselling, Home Monitoring and Exercise on Hospital Readmissions and Quality of Life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of nursing practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIndividuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) should engage in regular exercise, emphasizing the importance of home-based practices.
aimThis study aimed to investigate the effects of home follow-up, counselling and exercise training through telecounselling on hospital readmissions and the quality of life of individuals with COPD.
methodsThis was a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. Individuals in the intervention group were given breathing exercise training and following the training, the patients received weekly exercise programmes. It was added as a control tally on the back page of the training booklet, and a phone call was made to the patients once a week for 12 weeks. No intervention was applied to the control group patients during the 12 weeks. The research report was structured according to CONSORT.
resultsThere was a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest difference averages of the SF 36 Quality of Life Scale and the number of hospital readmissions of individuals with COPD in the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionIt was determined that exercise training and 12-week teleconsultancy and home-based monitoring service applied to the intervention group patients increased the quality of life of individuals with COPD and reduced hospital readmissions.
