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

Inhaled corticosteroids represent the mainstay of pharmacological treatment for reversible airways disease, and traditionally have had widespread use in non-reversible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, use in this group may expose patients to an increased risk of pneumonia, without significant benefit to symptoms or exacerbation frequency. Here we provide a guide to the use of inhaled therapy in COPD for the general physician.
