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

objectiveThis research was aimed to evaluate the impact of high-quality nursing (HQN) plus respiratory training on treatment compliance, pulmonary function (PF) and quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 89 COPD patients who were treated at the affiliated Nanhua Hospital from February 2019 to February 2021. Among them, 40 cases received drug treatment and breathing training as the control group, and 49 cases were supplemented with HQN as the experimental group on the basis of the control group. The changes in PF, quality of life and compliance were compared between the two groups.

resultsVital capacity (VC) and alveolar ventilation (VA) increased in both cohorts after treatment (P < 0.05), and increased more significantly in experimental group compared with control group (P < 0.05). Experimental group also presented markedly higher total effective rate and noticeably lower scores of symptoms, activities and disease impact on daily life than control group (P < 0.05).

conclusionsHQN plus respiratory training can effectively improve the PF, efficacy and QoL of patients with COPD.
