[Interventions to reduce hospital readmission rates in patients with COPD: a systematic review].
Synthesis in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a high risk of hospital and intensive care unit readmission. Readmissions are a severe burden on patients, families, and the health care system. The aim of this study is to identify pedagogical-counseling interventions to reduce readmissions and other parameters in COPD patients.
methodsA systematic literature search was performed in March 2022 in the databases Medline, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and LIVIVO. German‑, English‑, Arabic-, and French-language (cluster-) randomized, controlled studies were included.
resultsIn all, 21 studies with a total of 3894 COPD patients were included. The quality of included studies was moderate to good. Interventions were self-management programs, telemedical, and educational interventions. Five out of seven studies found a significant reduction in readmissions for self-management programs (p = 0.02-0.49). A positive effect of telemedicine interventions on outcome parameters was only reported in two studies (p < 0.05) and no significant effect in four studies. Educational interventions were examined in six studies: four found no difference between the study groups and two found a significant difference in favor of the intervention group (p = 0.01). Special care programs also showed a significant effect in two studies.
