Review 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 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a largely monogenetic disorder associated with a high risk for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cirrhosis. Intravenous alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) therapy has been available for the treatment of individuals with AATD and COPD since the late 1980s. Initial Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval was granted based on biochemical efficacy. Following its approval, the FDA, scientific community and third-party payers encouraged manufacturers of AAT therapy to determine its clinical efficacy. This task has proved challenging because AATD is a rare, orphan disorder comprised of individuals who are geographically dispersed and infrequently identified. In addition, robust clinical trial outcomes have been lacking until recently. This review provides an update on the evidence for the clinical efficacy of intravenous AAT therapy for patients with AATD-related emphysema.
