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

Revefenacin (YUPELRI™) inhalation solution, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (i.e. an anticholinergic) developed by Theravance Biopharma and Mylan, is the first and currently the only once-daily, nebulized bronchodilator to be approved in the USA for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In November 2018, based on results of three phase III trials, the US Food and Drug Administration granted market authorization to revefenacin for the maintenance treatment of patients with COPD. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of revefenacin leading to this first global approval.
