Quantitative assessment the longitudinal changes of pulmonary vascular counts in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in Respiratory research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundChest computed tomography (CT) is a widely used method to assess morphological and dynamic abnormalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The small pulmonary vascular cross-section (CSA), quantitatively extracted from volumetric CT, is a reliable indicator for predicting pulmonary vascular changes. CSA is associated with the severity of symptoms, pulmonary function tests (PFT) and emphysema and in COPD patients the severity increases over time. We analyzed the correlation longitudinal changes in pulmonary vascular parameters with clinical parameters in COPD patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 288 subjects with COPD were investigated during follow up period up to 6 years. CT images were classified into five subtypes from normal to severe emphysema according to percentage of low-attenuation areas less than -950 and -856 Hounsfield units (HU) on inspiratory and expiratory CT (LAA-950, LAA-856
resultsN
conclusionsQuantitative computed tomography features faithfully reflected pulmonary vessel alterations, showing in particular that pulmonary vascular alteration started.
