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 explore the efficacy of tiotropium bromide combined with different doses of fluticasone plus salmeterol DPI (dry powder for inhalation) in treating stable moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its influence on pulmonary function.

methodsFrom August 2017 to November 2019, 105 patients with stable moderate to severe COPD in our hospital were enrolled and divided into three groups: group A (GA), group B (GB) and group C (GC). In GA, patients received tiotropium bromide combined with low dose of fluticasone plus salmeterol. In GB, patients received tiotropium bromide combined with medium dose of fluticasone plus salmeterol. In GC, patients received tiotropium bromide combined with high dose of fluticasone plus salmeterol. The baseline data and adverse reactions were observed in each group. After therapy, the improvement of clinical symptoms, quality of life, pulmonary function index and therapeutic effect were observed in each group.

resultsThere was no difference in the general data of patients among the groups (P>0.05). The improvement of clinical symptoms in GB was better than that in GA, and that in GC was better than that in GB (P<0.05). There was no difference in adverse reactions among the groups (P>0.05). After treatment, IL-8, MPO, LTB4 and the number of inflammatory cells in sputum in the three groups decreased; the four in GB group were dramatically lower than those in GA group, and those in GC group were dramatically lower than those in GB group. The lung function indexes of patients in GB were better than those in GA, and those in GC were better than those in GB (P<0.05). The efficacy in GB was better than that in GA, and that in GC was better than that in GB (P<0.05). The quality of life scores in GB were higher than those in GA, and those in GC were higher than those in GB (P<0.05).

conclusionTiotropium bromide combined with high dose of salmeterol xinafoate (SX) and fluticasone propionate (FP) powder for inhalation can effectively improve the pulmonary function of patients with moderate to severe stable COPD.
