Subtyping Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Peripheral Blood Proteomics.
Article in Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (Miami, Fla.), 2017. 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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disorder. COPD patients may have different clinical features, imaging characteristics and natural history. Multiple studies have investigated heterogeneity using statistical methods such as unsupervised clustering to define different subgroups of COPD based largely on clinical phenotypes. Some studies have performed clustering using genetic data or limited numbers of blood biomarkers. Our primary goal was to use proteomic data to find subtypes of COPD within clinically similar individuals. In the Treatment of Emphysema with a gamma-Selective Retinoid Agonist (TESRA) study, multiplex biomarker panels were run in serum samples collected prior to randomization. After implementing an algorithm to minimize missing values, the dataset included 396 COPD individuals and 87 biomarkers. Using hierarchical clustering, we identified 3 COPD subgroups, containing 267 (67.4%), 104 (26.3%), and 25 (6.3%) individuals, respectively. The third cluster had less emphysema on quantitative analysis of chest computed tomography scans (
