Characteristics and difference of respiratory diseases in Korean adults aged ≥40 years: A cross-sectional study.

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
purposeNational big data pertaining to the status of common respiratory diseases is essential to devising appropriate policies to promote proper treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases amid the prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of common respiratory diseases and their association with sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and medical history using 11 years (2008-2018) of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data, ultimately to present foundational data for policy decision making and disease prevention measures.
methodsAmong the participants of the KNHANES survey (2008-2018), 93 028 adults aged ≥40 years who underwent a lung function test were included in this cross-sectional study. The participants were divided into four groups: Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma + COPD, and no respiratory disease. Their data were analyzed for demographic factors, health behavior, and disease-related factors. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) adjusted for sex, age, household income, educational level, occupation, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and comorbidities.
resultsOf all participants, 1.83%, 12.63%, and 1.27% had only asthma, only COPD, and asthma + COPD, respectively. With respect to the patients with asthma who also had asthma + COPD, the OR of asthma + COPD was 5.272 in underweight patients and 6.479 in patients aged ≥70 years. Meanwhile, a high association between COPD and asthma + COPD was found in female patients, whereas asthma was more highly associated with asthma + COPD in male patients.
conclusionThe study confirmed that old age, sex, smoking status, BMI, previous history of atopic dermatitis, and lung cancer were independent risk factors for asthma, COPD, and asthma + COPD. The present study demonstrated the need for a multidisciplinary integrative approach to respiratory diseases, and the findings could be used for developing policies for the treatment of COVID-19 and respiratory diseases and the prevention of infectious diseases.
