Development and Usability of a Digital Asthma Self-management Education Platform: BRinging Exercise, Asthma Assessments, and TeacHing to Everyone (BREATHE).
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice, 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
backgroundAsthma self-management education (ASME) encourages behavior that helps achieve disease control. Most adults with asthma (AwAs) do not receive ASME, and a digital ASME platform may improve access.
objectiveOur objectives were to use a user-centered design approach to develop an ASME platform containing features important to AwAs with health care access challenges (health disparities) and assess its usability by AwAs and health care providers (HCPs).
methodsThe Blue Marble Health Platform-BREATHE (BRinging Exercise, Asthma Assessments, and TeacHing to Everyone)-was developed and pilot-tested in 2 studies. Study 1 consisted of a survey and semistructured interviews with AwAs (n = 26) and HCPs (n = 9) for user-centered app development. Study 2 was a single-site, nonrandomized feasibility pilot study of BREATHE evaluated for 2 weeks by AwAs with health disparities (n = 10) and HCPs (n = 7). Feasibility was measured by challenges in downloading the app, considered behavior changes, and lesson evaluations. Usability was measured with the System Usability Scale and Net Promoter Score (NPS).
resultsA BREATHE prototype was developed and contained asthma lessons (with images reflecting diverse populations), an exercise tracker, asthma control assessments, and an Asthma Action Plan. The content was translated into Spanish, with bilingual voice-over narration. An HCP administrative web dashboard that captured and visualized data was implemented. All feasibility and usability goals were achieved. The AwAs scored the app usability at the 81st percentile, and HCPs scored the dashboard usability at the 76th percentile. The NPS was 8.6/10 for AwAs and 7.7/10 for HCPs.
conclusionsBREATHE, a digital ASME platform designed using user-centered design approaches, is feasible and has the potential to address health disparities by enabling access.
