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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of doxofylline combined with ceftazidime on clinical efficacy, drug safety, and prognosis in patients with COPD complicated with infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 450 patients admitted to the Inner Mongolia BaoGang Hospital for treatment of COPD from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected to participate. All patients were randomly divided into control and observation groups, with 225 patients in each group. In addition, patients with COPD in the remission stage were matched by sex and age for a blank control group. The control group was treated with doxofylline, and the observation group was treated with ceftazidime and doxofylline. No drug intervention was given to the blank control group. Short-term efficacy, pulmonary ventilation function, patient quality of life, peripheral blood TNF-alpha and PGDF-B levels, and adverse drug reactions were observed. RESULTS The effective treatment rate in the observation group was 96.89%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (84.00%). Measures of pulmonary ventilation function and patient quality of life in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Levels of TNF-alpha and PDGF-B in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. There were no significant differences in the above indicators between the blank control group and the observation group. CONCLUSIONS Doxofylline combined with ceftazidime effectively treated patients with COPD complicated with infection. These results provide a reference for clinical treatment.
