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

backgroundThe small airway disease has been recognized as a central feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Triple fixed combination beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium (BDP/FF/G) is provided as a pressurized single-dose inhaler based on an extra-fine formulation, which has been approved for patients with COPD experiencing frequent disease exacerbations.

methodsThe aim of our real-life single-center observational study was to investigate, in 22 patients with COPD, the effects of BDP/FF/G on lung function, respiratory symptoms, health status, and exacerbation rate. Several clinical and lung functional parameters were evaluated at baseline and after 12 months of treatment with combined inhaled triple therapy.

resultsWith respect to baseline, after 12 months of treatment with BDP/FF/G, significant changes were recorded with regard to forced expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity (FVC) (

conclusionIn conclusion, the valuable findings of our observational study consist in the corroboration in a real-life context of the therapeutic effects evidenced by randomized controlled trials with regard to the use of the triple inhaled BDP/FF/G therapy in patients with COPD.
