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

objectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of nalmefene combined with noninvasive positive-pressure mechanical ventilation (NIPPV) on elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with type II respiratory failure and to explore its influence on TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.

methodsIn this retrospective study, data of 106 COPD patients with type II respiratory failure were collected and divided into a research group and a control group based on different treatment, with 53 cases in each group. Both groups were given NIPPV. Besides, the control group was treated with conventional therapy and the research group was treated with nalmefene for 7 days. The changes of heart rate, respiratory rate, clinical efficacy, pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), serum inflammatory parameters, levels of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway related molecules and the incidences of adverse reactions of both groups were compared.

resultsAfter treatment, the heart rate, respiratory rate, PAP, IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations in both groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of PaO

conclusionNalmefene combined with NIPPV can significantly improve the level of PaO
