[Chronic obstructive lung disease].
Review in Der Internist, 2003. 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
The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recently, international guidelines for diagnosis, prevention and therapy have been published. Now also a modified German version of these guidelines is available. The diagnosis and the severity of the disease is established on the basis of spirometric findings. All stages of COPD are treated with bronchodilators (beta 2-sympathomimetics and anticholinergics). In addition, in stage II and III theophylline and inhaled corticosteroids may be used. Systemic steroids should be restricted to acute exacerbations. For patients with advanced COPD long-term oxygen therapy and in selected cases surgical procedures may be indicated. Rehabilitation measures are of high value. Strategies for primary prevention and smoking cessation programs are extremely important. To get to the diagnosis of COPD as early as possible, all smokers with cough and phlegm should undergo spirometry.
