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

purposeTo clarify the relationship between asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS) and depression.

methodsWe identified 10,911 patients who received an ACOS diagnosis and concurrent treatment between January 2000 and December 2009. Subjects without ACOS were included in the non-ACOS cohort (n = 10,911). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to compare the risk of depression between the ACOS and non-ACOS cohorts.

resultsThe risk of depression was higher in the ACOS cohort than in the non-ACOS cohort (adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) = 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.48-1.88). In the ACOS cohort, the aHRs for depression were [2.44 (95% CI = 1.45-4.11); 2.36 (95% CI = 1.58-3.52)] in patients [aged 20-39 years; without comorbidity]. In the ACOS cohort, the aHRs for depression were 1.70 (95% CI = 1.51-1.93) and 1.84 (95% CI = 1.55-2.19) in patients without inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and oral steroids (OSs) use, respectively. Moreover, the aHRs for the risk of depression were 1.16 (95% CI = 0.95-1.41) and 1.12 (95% CI = 0.96-1.29) in patients with ICSs and OSs use, respectively.

conclusionThe risk of depression is higher in ACOS patients, even in those without comorbidities or in young adults. The events of the depression were not significant difference in patients receiving the ICSs/OSs between the ACOS and the non-ACOS cohorts.
