Effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease combined with ventilator-associated pneumonia on patient outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to uncover whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a co-morbidity influences outcomes of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) compared to VAP alone and whether the development of VAP in patients with COPD is associated with poor outcome in comparison to COPD alone. An electronic search of the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, BioMed Central, CENTRAL and Google scholar databases for all types of studies assessing the influence of COPD on outcomes of patients with VAP and vice versa was performed. A total of 7 studies were included. Of these, 3 studies assessed the impact of COPD on outcomes of patients with VAP. Meta-analysis indicated that the presence of COPD significantly increased the mortality of patients with VAP [risk ratio (RR): 1.37, 95% CI: 1.14-1.65, I
