Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with COPD: mild-to-moderate COPD versus severe-to-very severe COPD.
Article in Jornal brasileiro de pneumologia : publicacao oficial da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisilogia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo assess and compare the prevalence of comorbidities and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in COPD patients according to disease severity.
methodsThe study included 25 patients with mild-to-moderate COPD (68% male; mean age, 65 ± 8 years; mean FEV1, 73 ± 15% of predicted) and 25 with severe-to-very severe COPD (males, 56%; mean age, 69 ± 9 years; mean FEV1, 40 ± 18% of predicted). Comorbidities were recorded on the basis of data obtained from medical charts and clinical evaluations. Comorbidities were registered on the basis of data obtained from medical charts and clinical evaluations. The Charlson comorbidity index was calculated, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score was determined.
resultsOf the 50 patients evaluated, 38 (76%) had been diagnosed with at least one comorbidity, 21 (42%) having been diagnosed with at least one CVD. Twenty-four patients (48%) had more than one CVD. Eighteen (36%) of the patients were current smokers, 10 (20%) had depression, 7 (14%) had dyslipidemia, and 7 (14%) had diabetes mellitus. Current smoking, depression, and dyslipidemia were more prevalent among the patients with mild-to-moderate COPD than among those with severe-to-very severe COPD (p < 0.001, p = 0.008, and p = 0.02, respectively). The prevalence of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, ischemic heart disease, and chronic heart failure was comparable between the two groups. The Charlson comorbidity index and HADS scores did not differ between the groups.
conclusionsComorbidities are highly prevalent in COPD, regardless of its severity. Certain risk factors for CVD, themselves classified as diseases (including smoking, dyslipidemia, and depression), appear to be more prevalent in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD. OBJETIVO: Avaliar e comparar a prevalência de comorbidades e de fatores de risco de doença cardiovascular (DCV) em pacientes com DPOC de acordo com a gravidade da doença. MÉTODOS: O estudo incluiu 25 pacientes com DPOC leve/moderada (homens: 68%; média de idade: 65 ± 8 anos; média de VEF1: 73 ± 15% do previsto) e 25 com DPOC grave/muito grave (homens: 56%; média de idade: 69 ± 9 anos; média de VEF1, 40 ± 18% do previsto). As comorbidades foram registradas com base nos dados dos prontuários médicos e avaliações clínicas. O índice de comorbidades de Charlson foi calculado, e a pontuação na Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) foi determinada. RESULTADOS: Dos 50 pacientes avaliados, 38 (76%) receberam diagnóstico de pelo menos uma comorbidade, sendo que 21 (42%) receberam diagnóstico de pelo menos uma DCV. Vinte e quatro pacientes (48%) apresentavam mais de uma DCV. Dezoito pacientes (36%) eram fumantes, 10 (20%) tinham depressão, 7 (14%) apresentavam dislipidemia, e 7 (14%) tinham diabetes mellitus. Tabagismo atual, depressão e dislipidemia foram mais prevalentes nos pacientes com DPOC leve/moderada que naqueles com DPOC grave/muito grave (p < 0,001, p = 0,008 e p = 0,02, respectivamente). A prevalência de pressão arterial elevada, diabetes mellitus, alcoolismo, doença isquêmica do coração e insuficiência cardíaca crônica foi semelhante nos dois grupos. O índice de comorbidades de Charlson e a pontuação na HADS não diferiram entre os grupos. CONCLUSÕES: Comorbidades são muito prevalentes na DPOC, independentemente da gravidade da doença. Certos fatores de risco de DCV, eles próprios considerados doenças (incluindo tabagismo, dislipidemia e depressão), parecem ser mais prevalentes nos pacientes com DPOC leve/moderada.
