'We can go hand in hand' - patients with COPD and their experiences of relational continuity of care in Swedish primary care: a qualitative study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2026. 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
aimThis study aimed to explore how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience continuity of care through their encounters with a specialised asthma/COPD Registered Nurse in primary care.
designAn inductive qualitative study using interpretive description.
methodsData were collected through semi-structured individual interviews with 13 purposively sampled patients with COPD from four regions in Sweden. The audiotaped interviews were conducted over a 5-month period (September 2024-January 2025)
resultsThree themes describe the results.
conclusionPatients with COPD value continuity of care with a specialised asthma/COPD Registered Nurse. Trust and a non-judgmental relationship are essential for continuity to be experienced positively. Continuity is more than repeated encounters; it requires quality interactions that empower patients and address the stigma associated with COPD. REPORTING
