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 determine the correlation between computed tomography (CT) phenotype and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis.

methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 174 COPD patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from May 2017 to October 2020 were enrolled and assigned to the M-type group (n = 48), E-type group (n = 56) or A-type group (n = 70) according to their CT features. The CT features and pulmonary function indexes of all the patients and their correlation were analyzed, and the acute exacerbation in one-year follow-up of the patients was recorded. Logistic regression was carried out to analyze the influencing factors for the prognosis of COPD.

resultsThe A-type group showed significantly better pulmonary function than the E-type group and M-type group (P < 0.05), and the degree of emphysema was negatively correlated with pulmonary function. The A-type group showed a significantly lower one-year acute exacerbation rate than the other two groups (P < 0.05). A relatively longer course of disease, a relatively lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio and CT phenotype were correlated with the unfavorable prognosis of patients.

conclusionAccording to determination of the pulmonary function of patients with COPD through CT, the degree of emphysema worsens with the progression of the disease. A relatively longer course of disease, a relatively lower FEV1/FVC ratio and CT phenotype are independent risk factors for unfavorable prognosis of COPD patients.
