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 COPD Foundation Pocket Consultant Guide (PCG) was first released in 2007 as a practice tool for use at point of service for clinicians, especially primary care clinicians diagnosing and treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over the years, the PCG has been supplemented with a mobile app that presents the tool in an online smart phone accessible version that also allows the clinician to enter patient specific data for guidance to next steps of diagnosis or management. In November 2016, a new update of the PCG was released that incorporates a flow diagram for stepped care that includes the newest recommendation for diagnosis, assessment and treatment; including the broad use of dual bronchodilator therapy and consideration of asthma COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). The current controversy regarding when to add inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) is addressed to support clinical decision making. The PCG comes in 2 versions, one with generic names for COPD drugs available in the United States and one with trade names for those drugs. The update continues to recommend spirometry for those at highest risk, also emphasizing the need to assess symptoms, exacerbation risks and comorbidity before selecting appropriate non-pharmacological as well as pharmacological therapy. The tool is designed to facilitate COPD management in daily practice.
