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.

Abstract

backgroundOnline behaviour change interventions (OBCI) have been poorly explored in adults with asthma. This study aimed to investigate the short- and medium-term efficacy of an OBCI in improving primarily physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB), and secondarily in asthma control, quality of life (QoL), motivation, and basic psychological needs for exercise in adults with asthma.

methodsAdults with stable asthma were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up. PA and SB were evaluated by accelerometry. Asthma control, QoL, exercise motivation, and basic psychological needs for exercise were assessed by questionnaires. After randomization, both groups (control [CG] and intervention [IG]) received an educational program, the IG also received an OBCI for 12 weeks. This randomized controlled trial was designed to detect change in steps/day (80% power, effect size = 0.95, N = 46).

resultsFifty-one participants were included (41 ± 11 years, 31 ± 6 Kg/m

conclusionsThis OBCI had no additional value to the educational program in improving PA or SB of adults with asthma after the intervention. However, it might be beneficial for asthma control and QoL and enhance exercise motivation and competence.
