Clinical Indicators for Asthma-COPD Overlap: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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: Some clinical indicators have been reported to be useful in differentiating asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) from pure asthma/COPD, but the results were inconsistent. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of these indicators for ACO. Methods: Databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid and Web of Science were retrieved. Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated in random-effects models. Results: 48 eligible studies were included. The pooled results indicated, compared with pure asthma, ACO patients had lower levels of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV Conclusion: Compared with pure asthma/COPD, ACO patients have different levels of FEV
