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

Aim: This scoping review will gather existing evidence on specific interventions at presentation and discharge which aim to standardize care and/or reduce unnecessary admissions and/or readmissions to hospital for patients presenting with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary (airways) disease. Design: Scoping review of relevant literature from January 2000-March 2019. Methods: Database searches for primary evidence in peer-reviewed journals will be conducted electronically using Web of Science, EMBASE (Elsevier) and PUBMED. Eligibility criteria will include hospital-based interventions for presentations of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with outcomes specific to standardizing care or reducing unnecessary admissions or readmissions. Abstract, full-text screening and data extraction will be completed independently by a panel of expert reviewers. Results: We aim to identify current interventions and improvement approaches in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary (airways) disease care that have an impact on admission and discharge processes or readmissions. Recommendations as a result of this review will aid the design and development of future improvement intervention.
