Telerehabilitation Interventions That Improve Adherence to Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Diseases: A Realist Review.
Review in Journal of clinical nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
aimTo explore how, under what circumstances and why telerehabilitation can improve adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
designA realist review. DATA SOURCES: Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to 2 July 2024 to identify relevant literature.
methodsInitial programme theory was developed through research team meeting, informal literature reading and the use of Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour model. After completing the literature search, key evidence was appraised, extracted and synthesised into context-mechanism-outcome configurations.
resultsThe review included 23 studies. Seven context-mechanism-outcome configurations were identified. Accessibility and convenience of pulmonary rehabilitation; social interaction and support; technical support; individuality and flexibility of program; getting feedback and seeing results; real-time monitoring of diseases; and diverse motivational incentives were found to be critical for telerehabilitation to improve adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
conclusionsThis review explains the key mechanisms by which telerehabilitation improves adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, which may contribute to the development and improvement of future pulmonary telerehabilitation interventions. IMPACT: The program theory developed in this study may guide researchers and clinical staff in the development or improvement of pulmonary telerehabilitation interventions to improve patients' adherence to pulmonary rehabilitation and further support better pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes. REPORTING
methodThis study adheres to The RAMESES reporting standards. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
