A randomised clinical trial of a digital self-management package for people with interstitial lung disease: the REBUILD-SM protocol.
Article in Respiratory research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06122233 (A Randomised Clinical Trial of a Digital Self-management Package for People With Interstitial Lung Disease), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInterstitial lung disease (ILD) has a profound impact upon health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and mortality. Patients with ILD have identified their desire for tools to improve self-management. This study compares the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of delivering an ILD-specific self-management package through a mobile health smartphone application (the REBUILD app), with standard care. It also evaluates the barriers and facilitators to adoption of the intervention in clinical practice.
methodsThis is a prospective, multicentre, randomised control trial (RCT) with embedded economic and implementation evaluations, with recruitment via ILD clinics at four Australian tertiary hospitals. Participants are allocated 1:1 to intervention and control groups, with randomisation stratified by disease severity, diagnosis, and site. The intervention group receives the self-management package and four phone health coaching sessions over 12 weeks. The control group receives standard care and four phone calls to control for attention. Outcomes will be measured at 12, 26 and 52 weeks. The primary outcome is change in HRQoL at 12 weeks, measured by the King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire. DISCUSSION: Enhanced self-management has been associated with better HRQoL in several chronic respiratory conditions, however its effect in people with ILD is not known. This is the first multicentre RCT to evaluate the effect of a digital self-management intervention delivered through a smartphone app in people with ILD. If successful, this intervention has the potential to enhance access to self-management support for people with ILD.
