1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Asthma management is complex, and while it is known that many environmental factors play a critical role in exacerbations, there is increasing interest on the role of air pollution. Yet, the precise relations by which these factors affect exacerbation risk are not fully understood. There is a need for innovative solutions to monitor and assess personal exposure to air pollutants in both outdoor and indoor environments to better understand their impact on respiratory outcomes, particularly asthma exacerbations. This paper introduces AirPredict, an innovative eHealth platform designed to enhance asthma management through the integration of wearable sensors, digital diaries, and ambient air quality monitoring. Methods: AirPredict comprises a mobile application for patients, a web interface for clinicians, and a robust cloud-based infrastructure. The platform utilizes devices such as the Fitbit Charge 6 for heart rate monitoring, the Atmotube PRO for air quality assessment, and the MIR SmartOne for spirometry, providing precise, real-time data on individual exposures and health outcomes. A feasibility study involving 16 participants, including asthma patients and specialized clinicians in Padova, Italy, was conducted to evaluate the usability of platform's components. Results: The results indicated high usability and user satisfaction, with average Single Ease Question (SEQ) scores ranging from of 6.8 to 5.5 out of 7 for patients and from 6.8 to 6.6 for clinicians, reflecting ease of use and functionality. Discussion: The findings support the platform's broader adoption and further development, highlighting its role in advancing eHealth solutions for chronic disease management.
