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

Background: The two main pillars of asthma management include regular follow-up and using guidelines in the treatment process. Patient portals enable regular follow-up of disease, and guideline-based decision-support-systems can improve the use of guidelines in the treatment process. Based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and Snell's drug interaction, asthma management system in primary care (AMSPC) includes the capabilities of both mentioned systems. This system was developed to improve regular follow-up and use GINA in the asthma management process. This study aimed to assess the accuracy and usability of the AMSPC based on the GINA and Snell's drug interaction. Materials and Methods: To assess the accuracy of the system, kappa test was used to calculate the degree of agreement between the suggestions made by the system and the physician's decision for a total of 64 patients selected through convenience sampling method. To assess usability, the Questionnaire for User Interface Satisfaction (QUIS) was used. Results: The scores of the Kappa for the agreements between the system and the physician in determining "drug type and dosage", "follow-up time", and "drug interactions" were 0.90, 0.94, and 0.94, respectively. The average score of the QUIS was 8.6 out of 9. Conclusion: Due to the high accuracy of the system in computerizing the GINA and Snell's drug interaction, as well as its proper usability, it is expected that the system be widely used to improve asthma management and reduce drug interactions.
