The Effects of a Comprehensive Care Management Program on Readmission Rates After Acute Exacerbation of COPD at a Community-Based Academic Hospital.
Article in Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (Miami, Fla.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States. Prior investigations suggest clinical and physiological parameters are important determinants for AECOPD readmissions. Strategies aimed at addressing these factors have not resulted in a major reduction of readmissions. We compared patients readmitted after an index AECOPD admission with non-readmitted patients. Patients' age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities (obstructive sleep apnea, chronic hypercapnia, congestive heart failure, lung cancer, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, atrial fibrillation, musculoskeletal disorders, cognitive disorders, and anxiety disorders), substance abuse and smoking status were assessed. Some 272 patients were included: 20 patients were readmitted within 30 days of their index hospitalization; 252 patients were not readmitted within 30 days of their index admission. Readmitted patients were significantly more likely to have pneumonia than non-readmitted patients (30.0% versus 13.1%,
