[Long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists for asthma and COPD].
Review in Medizinische Klinik (Munich, Germany : 1983), 1997. 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 introduction of long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists such as salmeterol and formoterol has opened new perspectives for the treatment of asthma and, possibly, also COPD. These drugs are particularly useful in bronchial asthma and meet the requirements of several treatment guidelines to combine long-acting bronchodilator therapy with inhaled corticosteroids in patients with persistent asthma. The role of long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists for management of COPD is less clear. While effects on lung function will be small, parameters of improved quality of life and exercise tolerance may verify the clinical role of long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists for COPD treatment in the future.
