Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07660991 (Pulmoner Rehabilitasyon Alan akciğer Nakil adaylarında hidroksimetilbütirat Takviyesinin değerlendirilmesi), which is not on this map. Cited by 44 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

This review summarises ongoing developments in personalised medicine and individualised medicine in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Currently applied classification systems largely ignore the complexity and heterogeneity of the COPD syndrome. Personalised medicine has to consider the influence of unique circumstances of the person, which contribute to this heterogeneity and complexity. Pulmonary rehabilitation is described as a comprehensive, individualised intervention based on thorough assessment of identifiable treatable traits. Partnership in care will become a crucial factor to improve and maintain health. Tolerating uncertainty and unpredictability will enrich future doctor-patient relationships.
