Education needs in oxygen therapy for individuals with interstitial lung disease.
Article in BMJ open respiratory research, 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.

methodsFocus groups and semistructured interviews were used to understand the perspectives of individuals living with ILD or COPD and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Participants were recruited from Alberta, Canada. Individuals living with ILD or COPD were recruited through province-wide disease support groups while HCPs were recruited from a previous study. Separate focus groups were conducted for each participant category: (1) HCPs, (2) individuals with a lived experience with ILD and (3) individuals with a lived experience of COPD. An inductive coding approach was employed, guided by thematic analysis.
results20 HCPs with a mean of 20.9 (SD±0.7) years of experience in healthcare and a mean of 12.8 (SD±8.4) years of experience working with individuals with ILD participated. 13 individuals with ILD and one ILD caregiver and 10 individuals with COPD participated in the study. Common themes among individuals with ILD and COPD were person-centred approaches to education, establishing ongoing support and building confidence through knowledge and learning. Compared with COPD, ILD-specific educational needs included the importance of more frequent assessments of O
conclusionWe identified educational approaches that focus on empowerment, confidence-building and establishing support systems may facilitate the use of O
