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

Background and Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the temporal trends in hospitalization and mortality from acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and the associated financial costs over a 10-year period in Beijing, China. Methods: Hospital admission records from 2008 to 2017 for all patients aged ≥20 years with a primary discharge diagnosis of AECOPD were retrieved from the Beijing Public Health Information Center Database. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze trends and calculate the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) for AECOPD hospitalization and mortality. Results: A total of 337,802 AECOPD cases were recorded from 2008 to 2017. An inverse U-shaped trend in the AECOPD hospitalization rate was observed, showing an increase from 150.2 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2008 to 218.7 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2014 (APC: 5.5%, 95% CI: 2.9-8.2), before declining to 161.13 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2017 (APC: -9.7%, 95% CI: -16.0 to-2.9). In-hospital mortality from AECOPD decreased significantly from 3.91% to 2.21% (AAPC: -11.4%, 95% CI: -15.5 to-7.0). A decline in the median length of hospital stay from 13.0 days in 2008 to 12.0 days in 2017 ( Conclusion: AECOPD remains a heavy burden on the health care system in Beijing. Strategies to better manage COPD and reduce hospitalizations from AECOPD are needed.
