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
Introduction: Self-management for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is essential in preventing relapse and rehospitalization. This study aimed to adapt a self-management-supporting digital monitoring system that was designed for COPD patients at home, to older patients with COPD and their healthcare professionals during inpatient geriatric rehabilitation. It evaluated feasibility, usability, and adherence based on qualitative and quantitative data collected across three iterations. Methods: This participatory mixed-methods study, conducted between October 2022 and June 2023, included interviews with patients and focus groups with healthcare professionals on the usability and feasibility of the system. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed using the framework method. Quantitative data from the monitoring system were descriptively analyzed. Results: Five healthcare professionals and 10 patients participated. Adjustments to the system and its use were made between iterations. Most patients used the system frequently. Insight into energy balance and health status was described as valuable features in a digital monitoring system. Other important aspects were easy initiation and use of the system and integration into the treatment program. Discussion: While the digital monitoring system and its use underwent various adaptations, further changes such as integration into the treatment program are needed for the system to be usable and feasible during geriatric rehabilitation. To transfer an eHealth intervention for home use to use during inpatient rehabilitation, substantial adaptations and time are required. Impact: This study highlights the importance of tailored digital health systems, offering guidance on implementing eHealth solutions in complex settings such as geriatric COPD rehabilitation.
