1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 heterogeneous clinical phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) challenge successful drug development. To identify COPD subgroups beyond clinical phenotypes, we interrogated blood immune cell profiles and ex-vivo responses of current and former smokers, with or without COPD, in the longitudinal COPD Genetic Epidemiology study (COPDGene) cohort. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and monocytes were profiled by flow cytometry. Microarray analysis was performed on the RNA from the aforementioned isolated cells. T-cell directed whole blood ex-vivo stimulation was used to assess functional responses. Blood CD4+ T-cell transcript analysis distinguished patients with COPD from control smokers and also enriched for a subset of patients with COPD that had a history of exacerbations of the disease. Analogous analyses of CD8+ T cells and monocytes failed to discriminate patients with COPD from the control population. Patients with COPD had a diminished cytokine response, compared to control smokers, characterized by low levels of granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulation factor (GM-CSF), interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ), interleukin one-alpha (IL-1α), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-β) secreted in response to T-cell directed ex-vivo stimulation. This cytokine response associated with baseline disease severity (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV
