Trial reportChronic respiratory disease
The order of completing MDP and D12 does not affect the breathlessness responses: A randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Chronic respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BackgroundBreathlessness is a common and distressing symptom across a wide range of medical conditions. Different aspects (dimensions) of breathlessness can be assessed using the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP) and Dyspnoea-12 (D12) questionnaires. We aimed to examine whether the order of completing MDP and D12 affects the breathlessness responses in people with cardiorespiratory disease.MethodsThis was a randomised controlled trial embedded within a longitudinal clinical study. Outpatients with cardiorespiratory disease were randomly assigned to either first complete the MDP or the D12. Primary outcome was mean difference in D12 total score between groups, secondary outcome was mean difference in D12 and MDP subdomain scores. Both outcomes were compared to the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each scale.ResultsAll 182 participants from the longitudinal study were included. 93 were randomized to complete MDP first and 89 to D12 first. Characteristics such as age, sex, main cause of breathlessness and smoking status were similar between groups. The mean difference for D12 total score (MCID = 2.8) was -1.5 (-4.2 to 1.3,
