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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. The symptomatic burden, including breathing difficulties and fatigue, has a profound impact on health-related quality of life and utilisation of health services. The role of health coaching is developing in the health and care system with a focus on improving patient outcomes through personalised goal setting and behaviour change. A systematic review by Long et al. (2019) explored the effectiveness of health coaching for people with COPD on health related, quality of life, mood, physical activity, self-care behaviour and hospital admissions. This commentary critically appraises a systematic review by Long et al. (2019) and considers the findings for COPD care, training and support available for health coaches, coaching psychology for developing research and practice, and the requirements for further research.
