Efficacy and safety of CHF6001, a novel inhaled PDE4 inhibitor in COPD: the PIONEER study.
Trial report in Respiratory research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02986321 (A 24-week, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Placebo and Active Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose Ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 4 Doses of CHF6001 DPI in Patients With COPD on a Background Therapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the novel inhaled phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor CHF6001 added-on to formoterol in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
methodsRandomised, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel-group study. Eligible patients had symptomatic COPD, post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV PRIMARY
objectivesTo investigate CHF6001 dose-response for pre-dose FEV
resultsOf 1130 patients randomised, 91.9% completed. Changes from baseline in pre-dose FEV
conclusionsCHF6001 had no effect in the primary lung function analysis, although was well-tolerated with no gastrointestinal adverse event signal. Post-hoc analyses focused on exacerbation risk indicate specific patient subgroups who may receive particular benefit from CHF6001.
