Enhancing our understanding of the time course of acute exacerbations of COPD managed on an outpatient basis.
Observational study in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03751670 (Pulmonary Rehabilitation During Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
purposeAcute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) are associated with pulmonary/systemic changes; however, quantification of those changes during AECOPD managed on an outpatient basis and factors influencing recovery are lacking. This study aimed to characterize patients' changes during AECOPD and identify factors influencing their recovery.
methodsBody mass index, the modified British Medical Research Council questionnaire, number of exacerbations in the previous year, and the Charlson comorbidity index (independent variables) were collected within 24-48 hours of hospital presentation (T0). Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
resultsA total of 44 outpatients with AECOPD (31♂; 68.2±9.1 years; 51.1±20.3 FEV
