Incidence and long-term outcome of severe asthma-COPD overlap compared to asthma and COPD alone: a 35-year prospective study of 57,053 middle-aged adults.

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
backgroundIncidence and prognosis for severe asthma-COPD overlap is poorly characterized. We investigated incidence and long-term outcome for patients with asthma-COPD overlap compared to asthma and COPD alone. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 57,053 adults (aged 50-64 years) enrolled in the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort (1993-1997) were followed in the National Patients Registry for admissions for asthma (DJ45-46) and COPD (DJ40-44) and vital status. Asthma-COPD overlap was defined as at least one hospital admission for asthma and one for COPD (different time points), and incident asthma-COPD overlap as at least one of the diagnoses occurring after enrollment into the Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort.
resultsA total of 1,845 (3.2%) and 4,037 (7.1%) participants had admissions for asthma and COPD, respectively, with 662 (1.2%) participants with asthma-COPD overlap. Incidence rate of asthma-COPD overlap per 1,000 person-years was higher in women (0.73) than in men (0.54) (
conclusionThis large population-based study revealed a higher incidence of severe asthma-COPD overlap in women compared to men, and furthermore that all-cause mortality is higher in women and younger subjects with asthma-COPD overlap compared with those with asthma or COPD alone.
