Functional capacity and inflammatory biomarkers as predictors for right atrial volume index in COPD patients.

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
objectiveChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality and right-heart complications. So, this study aimed to evaluate the role of right atrial volume index (RAVI), inflammatory biomarkers and functional capacity in predicting poor outcomes for patients with COPD, classified by COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaire, as early predictors of right heart diseases.
methods151 patients with COPD with ejection fraction (LVEF) > 55% were enrolled and classified according to CAT questionnaire into CAT ≥ 10 (group I) and CAT < 10 (group II). RAVI was calculated using Echocardiography. Assessment of RV systolic function was done by Doppler imaging. Functional capacity parameters were assessed by modified medical research council dyspnea scale (mMRC). IL-1β, adiponectin, hs-CRP and neopterin were evaluated by ELSA kits.
resultsGroup I (CAT ≥ 10) had higher RAVI (73.92 ± 21.20 ml/m
conclusionFunctional capacity might be useful predictor for right heart diseases in COPD patients. Inflammatory biomarkers, low adiponectin and high Hs-CRP, IL-1β and neopterin levels, might not only be useful to monitor treatment response but may also help to discriminate patients with a worsen prognosis.
