Amplifying the voices of people with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) care through photovoice: a case study of patient and public involvement in Klang, Malaysia.

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
backgroundAcross low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), patients and the public remain involved only to a limited extent in respiratory health research. In this Photovoice project, people living with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) and carers partnered with the research team, shifting researcher-led processes towards co-production that influenced study design, conduct, analysis, and dissemination. This case study reports and reflects on the patient and public involvement (PPI) approach and its impacts. METHODS AND PROCESSES: We conducted PPI-related activities throughout a Photovoice project to capture lived experiences of breathlessness, adaptation, and resilience across three engagement levels: (1) community awareness and screening, (2) healthcare-providers (HCPs) reflection, and (3) policy co-design. Two PPI carers reviewed all patient-facing materials for clarity and cultural sensitivity and advised on recruitment through treating physicians to build trust. Three PPI members and two participants contributed to the thematic validation. Participants took part in dissemination, co-curated the exhibitions and the Living with CRD photobook, and co-drafted a policy brief. The team thematically analysed reflections, discussions, and facilitator notes to identify key enablers and challenges. PPI IMPACT AND REFLECTIONS: PPI shaped every stage of the study. Their inputs influenced recruitment approaches, interpretation of lived-experience data, and design of dissemination materials. Participants described a sense of being ‘heard’ for the first time and expressed pride in contributing to change. The Photovoice exhibitions connected communities, clinicians, and policymakers, leading to co-developed recommendations through exhibition dialogues and the policy workshop.
conclusionThis Photovoice project demonstrates how PPI partners can strengthen study relevance, enrich interpretation, and support dissemination to clinicians and policymakers in LMIC settings. Their engagement with design, analysis, and dissemination illustrates feasible co-production that builds trust, fosters empowerment and generates actionable, context-sensitive recommendations.
