Budesonide/formoterol pressurized metered-dose inhaler: in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Review in Drugs, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 corticosteroid budesonide and the rapid-onset, long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist formoterol have been combined into a single pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) for use in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Well designed 6- and 12-month clinical trials, twice-daily budesonide/formoterol pMDI 320 microg/9 microg effectively improved lung function in patients with moderate to very severe COPD. The co-primary endpoints of adjusted mean morning predose forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) and 1-hour post-dose FEV(1) improved from baseline to a significantly greater extent with twice-daily budesonide/formoterol pMDI 320 microg/9 microg than with twice-daily placebo, budesonide pMDI 320 microg and formoterol dry powder inhaler 9 microg. Budesonide/formoterol pMDI was also associated with improvements from baseline in other measures of lung function, COPD control (including the time to first COPD exacerbation in the 12-month trial), symptoms and health status. These improvements were significantly greater than those observed with placebo and, for some endpoints, monotherapy with the individual components. Budesonide/formoterol pMDI was well tolerated in clinical trials in patients with COPD. Its overall adverse event profile is consistent with the known tolerability profiles of formoterol and budesonide, and is generally similar to that with placebo.
