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

There is an unmet need for blood biomarkers in diagnosis and prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The search for these biomarkers has been revolutionized by high-throughput sequencing techniques and multiplex platforms that can measure thousands of gene transcripts, proteins, or metabolites. We review COPDGene (Genetic Epidemiology of COPD) project publications that include DNA methylation, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic blood biomarkers and discuss their impact on COPD. Key contributions from COPDGene include identification of DNA methylation effects from smoking and genetic variation, new transcriptomic signatures in the blood, identification of protein biomarkers associated with severity and progression (e.g., sRAGE [soluble receptor for advanced glycosylation end products], inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8), and identification of small molecules (ceramides and sphingomyelin) that may be pathogenic. COPDGene studies have revealed that some of the COPD genome-wide association study polymorphisms are strongly associated with blood biomarkers (e.g., rs2070600 in
