Should household air quality monitoring be considered in selected patients with asthma and COPD?
Observational study in BMJ open respiratory research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06421402 (Knowledge for Improving Indoor Air Quality and Health), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIndoor air quality (IAQ) is a well demonstrated actionable determinant of health status. Low-cost sensors (LCS) could enable patient-centred assessments, but real-world clinical utility is uncertain.
objectiveEvaluate the feasibility, usability and clinical indications of home IAQ monitoring with LCS.
methodsWe conducted a cohort study involving household continuous IAQ monitoring with LCS of 205 adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis or asthma. Household IAQ was profiled prospectively over a 2-month period registering concentrations of carbon dioxide, particulate matter 2.5 µm (PM
resultsOf the 205 participants, 178 were included in the final analysis after excluding dropouts and cases with insufficient monitoring data. More than half of homes (51.7%) had at least one pollutant in an at-risk category. The burden was mostly generated by PM
conclusionsLCS are useful tools for short-term, targeted household IAQ screening in chronic respiratory patients. Indoor pollution is highly prevalent and largely PM TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06421402.
