Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03623282 (Study Regarding the Clinical Efficacy of Synatura® in Patients With Chronic Bronchitis Type COPD), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAG NPP709 (Synatura

methodsThis was a prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical trial (NCT03623282). Chronic bronchitis type COPD patients aged >40 years were enrolled. The primary endpoint was improvement on the CAT scores between the baseline visit and week 12. The secondary endpoints were the effect of AG NPP709 on the pulmonary function and systemic inflammation, as indexed by CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-33 levels.

resultsThirty patients were enrolled. All patients were male, and their mean age was 71.93±7.93 years. The mean post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio was 58.63±11.40, and FEV1 (%) was 75.93±20.42. The mean total CAT score was 14.77±7.14. Of these patients, 26 were followed up after 3 months. A significant improvement was observed in the total CAT score (from 14.38±6.62 to 12.73±6.60, P=0.005). Fibrinogen level decreased significantly (P=0.013). No serious adverse events occurred.

conclusionsAG NPP709 improved the quality of life, as represented by the CAT score, in patients with chronic bronchitis type COPD, and significantly reduced fibrinogen levels. These results suggest that AG NPP709 is efficacious and safe in patients with chronic bronchitis type COPD.
