Self‐management interventions vs usual care

All‐cause mortality · patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Self‐management interventions showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality compared with usual care (low certainty).

Supportive interventions for enhancing dietary intake vs comparators

All‐cause mortality · malnourished or nutritionally at‐risk adults

Supportive interventions for enhancing dietary intake probably leads to lower all‐cause mortality compared with comparators (moderate certainty).

Longer intervals (5‐15 days) (intervention) vs shorter intervals (2‐5 days) (control) between dressing changes

All‐cause mortality · patients with a central venous catheter

Longer intervals (5‐15 days) (intervention) showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality compared with shorter intervals (2‐5 days) (control) between dressing changes (low certainty).

Specialised early intervention (SEI) vs treatment

Death: all‐cause mortality (assessed by proportion deceased at end of treatment) · recent‐onset psychosis (less than three years since the start of psychotic symptoms and either first or second psychotic episode)

Specialised early intervention (SEI) showed no clear difference in death: all‐cause mortality (assessed by proportion deceased at end… compared with treatment (low certainty).

Multi‐component interventions (with telehealth as a component of care) vs usual care

Anti‐cytokine, all‐cause mortality ‐ uncertain risk of bias · patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

It is very uncertain whether multi‐component interventions (with telehealth as a component of care) changes mortality (all‐cause) overall analysis compared with usual care (very low certainty).
