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

purposeAsthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are complex and heterogeneous inflammatory diseases. We sought to investigate distinct disease profiles based on clinical, cellular and molecular data from patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive pulmonary diseases. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients with mild-to-moderate allergic asthma (n=30) and COPD (n=30) were prospectively recruited. Clinical characteristics and induced sputum were collected. In total, 35 mediators were assessed in induced sputum. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the optimal factors that were able to discriminate between asthma and COPD. Further, the data were explored using hierarchical clustering in order to discover and compare clusters of combined samples of asthma and COPD patients. Clinical parameters, cellular composition, and sputum mediators of asthma and COPD were assessed between and within obtained clusters.

resultsWe found five clinical and biochemical variables, namely IL-6, IL-8, CCL4, FEV

conclusionThe inflammatory profile of sputum samples from patients with stable mild-to-moderate asthma and COPD is not disease specific, varies within the disease and might be similar between these diseases. This study highlights the need for phenotyping the mild-to-moderate stages according to their clinical and molecular features.
