Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing worldwide. There is a lack of national-level estimates on the magnitude of COPD in India. Hence, we estimated the prevalence of COPD among adults in India.
methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Scopus and included community-based cross-sectional studies reporting data on the prevalence of COPD among adults based on spirometry. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of COPD.
resultsIn the eight identified studies, (pooled sample of 8,569 individuals), the estimated prevalence was 7.4% (95% confidence interval: 5.0%-9.8%), I
conclusionAdequate training and resources should be provided to diagnose COPD at primary health care level for early management. A nationwide population-based survey is indicated to provide reliable estimates of the burden to inform evidence-based community-based interventions.
