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

backgroundTo investigate the efficacy of glucocorticoid and terbutaline in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).

methods248 patients with AECOPD were assigned into two groups, 124 patients in the control group were only given terbutaline treatment, while 124 patients in the experimental group were treated with glucocorticoid and terbutaline. The effect on lung function and blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe total effective rate of the treatment with glucocorticoid and terbutaline was higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the pulmonary function indexes such as FEV

conclusionsThe combined use of glucocorticoid and terbutaline could effectively improve the lung function and blood gas indexes. It's of great significance to promote the rehabilitation of patients with AECOPD, and it provides insights for future clinical practice.
