Hybrid Virtual Coaching and Telemonitoring in COPD Management: The CAir Randomised Controlled Study.
Trial report in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of 12-weeks hybrid virtual coaching on health-related quality-of-life (HrQoL) in patients with stable COPD. Methods: We equipped all patients with a CAir Desk for telemonitoring, the intervention group additionally received hybrid virtual coaching through the built-in smartphone. The multimodal intervention based on the Living well with COPD programme, containing educational content, physical activity coaching, and home-based exercises. Primary outcome was HrQoL as measured by the SGRQ. Secondary outcomes were symptom burden, physical activity, functional exercise capacity, and lung function. Between-group differences were calculated using linear regression models, controlling for baseline differences. Results: We included 30 participants with COPD (13/17 women/men; 63 [9] years; FEV Conclusion: Twelve-weeks hybrid virtual coaching did not improve HrQoL more than telemonitoring only in patients with stable COPD. The intervention group improved their physical activity and symptom burden clinically relevant more than the control group.
