[New therapeutic approaches to COPD].
Article in Der Internist, 2004. 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
Classification of severity of the disease is the basis of the therapeutic concept for chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Besides pharmacological treatment, preventive measures and rehabilitation with training are the main parts of COPD therapy. Weaning patients of cigarette smoking is of utmost importance in every stage for the course of the disease. Inhalative short acting bronchodilators on demand are the basis of treatment in all stages as well as long acting bronchodilators from stage II on as continuous medication. Theophyllines are of additional importance in higher degrees of the disease. Inhalative steroids are indicated in severe stages III or higher, systemic steroids only during exacerbations as short course therapy. Oxygen long time treatment, intermittent non-invasive ventilation, and operations in some cases are additional therapies.
