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.

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

introductionPatients undergoing lung transplantation require regular monitoring to ensure that the transplanted lung(s) stay healthy. This is usually achieved through a combination of home spirometry combined with regular reviews in hospital outpatient clinics. Administering questionnaires remotely could reduce the need for regular hospital clinic visits. This study aims to investigate whether a remotely administered questionnaire combined with home spirometry can reduce the number of hospital clinic visits.

methodsPatients will be randomised to the intervention arm (questionnaire and home spirometry) or standard of care arm (home spirometry + clinic visit). Quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire), health economic data and usage acceptability will be collected at the beginning and end of the study period. PLANNED OUTCOMES: The primary outcome is to evaluate whether the number of hospital clinic visits are reduced in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Secondary outcomes will evaluate the intervention influence on healthcare usage, the associated costs of service delivery and its environmental impact. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05916495.
